It's nobody's first choice - at least, it may not be here But I am considering entering Toby into a PetSmart 'Beginners' obedience training class.
He has all of his basics down, but you can't enter the next level without prerequisites. I know it's not ideal, but I thought it might help with his excitability around new and unfamiliar dogs to be taking a class with them where we can work on being calm in a group before I get heavy into agility with him.
I still don't know if he can/should do agility with his leg... we have vet approval but sometimes he's tripodal and that just makes me weary of going for it.
With his beginners certificate, I was also thinking we'd go to a St John's Ambulance class so he can come into the hospital and visit people.
Has anybody done the PetSmart classes and enjoyed the experience?
