As my facebook fans might know, I’ve been taking an Intro to Agility Class at the Dog Training Club of Chester County. So far it’s been a lot of basic stuff to get me prepared for the obstacles, but this week I actually got to practice walking over some low jumps in class.
I don’t have any videos from class (where I’m of course a super star), but I do have this fun video of me and mom practicing at work yesterday.
After learning how to target my nose to spot with clicker training, my mom is having me complete an obstacle and then touch my nose to the target. We haven’t really progressed this far in the class yet, but mom said I’m so far ahead in my “homework” that it wouldn’t hurt to make it a little harder for me. I’m not complaining, I can’t wait to show the big dogs what I can do when we get to class next week (to be fair there is one corgi in my class…..but I’m by far the tiniest).
And since it’s Friday, I thought I’d show you another video. This is just to make you smile.
Yeah, that kitten is crazy. I don’t know whether I should play with her, eat her, or be afraid of her. It’s a conundrum.
Ammo,You get loads of goodies for targeting in class..I love targeting so much, I about drag Sarah to any target plate I see, nosetouch and then look at her, waiting for my goodie. 🙂 I even braved the scary teeter totter to get to the target plate on the other side! My teacher said I had the best touch in class, so keep up with your homework and show the other dogs how it’s done!
Love Kate in Texas
oooh I can’t wait to try to teeter totter! I’m not scared of nothing!
Ammo, you and Spider kitty made me smile. But don’t eat her, she is too cute!!! I am so glad you have a new little friend to play with and train!
Yeah, I think I decided it’s probably not a good idea to eat her. Too much hair! 🙂
