CONGRATS, its great to hear your doing agility, Zoey does agility to(even though we havent went to training in a while )

when she gets excited jumping over the jumps, is she knocking bars??

Great to have more agility stars(in the making for me and Zoey) on the forum!! YAY! Congrats again!

thanks everyone, poppet doesn't usally knock over jumps, she only knocks them over when they are too high lol!
shes so small, much smaller than all the other dogs there!

Agility is great! I was actually just talking to a friend who works on construction sites, asking him to keep an eye open for different materials so I can make my own agility course in the backyard. Mike LOVES doing agility. I'm hoping we'll be able to start competing at some point this year, but of course it will depend on my work schedule. Booooo

WE started doing agility yesterday and Belle is already doing every thing except the weave poles but we havent started that in class yet!!! we were moved up to the advanced class!!! It is very fun and VERY ADDICTING!!!

Yes, Ahem. the weave poles can be a bummer. Zoey is still wokring on her weaves, I wanted to trial her this summer, but we have to master the weave poles first, boo hooo!

I don't know what clubs are available near you, but there are a lot of classes that don't use the weaves. I know a friend started in CPE, and their novice classes don't have weaves or the see-saw.

Meg is great on the weaves - now if I could just get her contact on the A-frame figured out.

when we do weave poles, the trainer said that it is easier to do it backwards to start with, but after you have mastered that, you should really do it normally (forwards!)
