He's Obsessed.

Yep.. he is officially NUTS about agility. We started our group class last week and our 2x per week private lessons. He is completely addicted to it and the excitement he shows during class, is almost intimidating.

He is doing great in his group agility class, didn't seem to have an issue going from all private lessons to having to "share" his agility time. It's really beneficial for me to see other handlers and their dogs, so I can fix mistakes that I make.

Right now, the next thing on the calendar is Nationals in Wisconsin. We are nonstop busy, so I am not even 100% sure if we are going to go.. especially since I really do not know if he'll jump... with the cold weather.

However, we do have Splash Dogs Cynosports in Phoenix, AZ coming up the end of October, that not only Tractor will be attending, but also Kali! Yep, that's right, I took her to her first practice this last weekend and she had no issues going off the edge of the pool! (more on that later!) So the three of us will be making the road trip - and will also get to see Amy and family while we are down there!

After that, we have our first LVDD event here in town.. its going to be great to be able to not have to travel so far to go to events! After that event in November, we'll hang up the dock jumping hat for the winter and do nothing but focus on agility! :-)
