Agility Videos

It's been a little while since I posted about our agility training.  That's mostly because there wasn't much to post about, as we went through a phase in January & February where all I did was chase Brutus around the field!  Good exercise for both of us, entertaining to watch, but not at all what we were there to do!

Thankfully the last 8 weeks have brought about a HUGE improvement in Brutus.  Maybe it's being able to get out and do more walks.  Maybe something finally clicked in his head.  Who knows...  but whatever it is, I'll take it!!

Brutus is so much more confident and less stressed now.  My handling still needs work, but I'm actually standing up most of the time now.  SO much more enjoyable for both of us!  Now if I can just get him to run FASTER!!!

So see for yourself; here's a video of our weekly training session/lesson.  First time we've been able to train outside since September (well, at least until it got too dark).  Starts with an exercise to work on our maneuverability, lovingly referred to as the wheel of death.  After that there are two courses, one outside & one inside.



Since we have so many puggy pals, I thought you might enjoy meeting Martie & Oliver.  They've been classmates of ours through the winter, and have also come a LONG way.  Thanks Martie for recording our runs, hope you don't mind me showing one of yours!  I just think Oliver is a darling, and he's getting so fast!!  Looking good, you two!




It's been a quiet few months, but the trial schedule will be kicking into high gear in a few weeks.  In two weeks we're entered in a CPE trial, then our debut in AKC agility the following weekend.  Another AKC trial a few weeks after that, then depending on how we're doing we'll decide from there what else to enter.  I'm really looking forward to getting back in the ring, hope the "new & improved, zoomie-free" Brutus is the one that comes with me!!
