Mushu's Final "Agility for Fun" Class

This evening was Mushu's final session in the "Agility for Fun" class. Luckily, Matt had a bye for softball this week, so he was able to attend and take a few pics. The class was very fun and a good introduction for The Moosh and I. I am hoping to get him signed up in another class soon.

Learning the dog-walk. Mushu had to be baited at first with turkey franks. But after a couple of times, he started to get the hang of it.



Practicing the a-frame. Mushu likes this one, but the hardest part is getting him to "find his spot" at the end. In other words, he can't just leap off the end, he has to have both front feet touch the ground while his back feet are still on the a-frame, then he can take off.



At the end of the class we got to run 8 or so obstacles, mostly tunnels and 4 inch jumps ending with either the a-frame or dog-walk. Moosh got pretty good at speeding through tunnels then heading to a jump when I told him too.



Agility makes him smile!
