Aidan recieved his CGC a few weeks ago, and at hte test site they had an agility course set up, its new here a club called "Northwoods Dog trainig club" They do agility, showmanship, conformation etc. My h usband thought it would be fun to just "try" Aidan in the agility course, no training and we have never worked him in this, needless to say he was a natural. Went through the tunnels, jumped over the barricades, and leapt throughthe tires! Everyone was amazed, he weighs 120 pounds and is a little over a year old! My hun is hooked! He LOVED agility! We are not into showing for conformation etc...but Steve (hun) has found an event he enjoys and is fun for both. He will be working Aidan in agility (training) and wants to compete, I will on the other hand will be working him for his therapy cert. He is such an awesome boy...SMART like no other , but I am biased!
I totally understand the car thing. Alls I have to do is say "let's go bye bye" and both Beauty and Aidan are alert and ready to leave! A few months ago I said this to Beauty, we were going for a vet check as she was still pregnant and I let her out after telling "bye bye" the phone rang and I went in to answer, when I came out she was laying by the drivers door, thumping her tail , sounded like a drum! They LOVE to ride in the car and it is one of our favorite things to do with them, even if its just down the road!
