So to introduce myself and my dogs: I've just been introduced to the world of somewhat competitive dog showing and reformed lessons. So I have 2 dogs, a 1.5 year old Rott/Dobe mix and an 8 month old pitbull.
I originally started lessons with my mix because she was so clever and quick to learn and I wanted to challenge her. I started lessons with my pit because I live in Ontario where the ban is on and I thought some obedience lessons would be a responsible act on my part. So the pitt started lessons, not for anything serious like showing, but just to make him a safer pet all around.
So at his last private lesson we set up 2 high jumps just for fun. He sat on the table and I sent him to the box where he got his treat and then he returned to the table. Did he ever love it!!! Tail wagging eyes shining! We did it probably 4 times and than quit for the day. My coach and I were just discussing shows in the upcoming week for my other pup when we looked for Hades and there he was running up and down the jumps just loving it!!! For 10 minutes while we were talking he just kept on trucking. My coach mentioned that perhaps we should get him involved in some agility because he obviously loves it!! LOL. He starts his fungility lessons in 2 weeks now!!!
