Last agility class in San Diego

We attended our last agility class here in San Diego. We will miss our classmates: Franklin, Camden and the amazing Cody (and of course their human folk). Lavi still loves it and waits anxiously at the door when it is time to go to class. Thus far, she does great on the dog walk, A-frame, jumping grid and tire jump. She is also quickly picking up the weave poles and the teeter toter. Her one "hurdle" we are still working on is the tunnel! She was very hesitant at first and then she was zipping through with no problems...until this last class when daddy was there. I am so excited to show him how great she does and then I send her through the tunnel. She tops midway, makes a bunch of circles, and then BAM - hauls ass out of the tunnel, out of the field and into the dark parking lot. This never happened before and Matt and I look at each other and say "Where is our dog". We run out to the parkign lot to look for her but by that time she made it back to field and was begging everyone for treats. Ann, the instructor grabbed her and all was well. Needless to say, it was very weird! But she did great the rest of the class and we are so proud of her.

Here are a few shots of her jumping through the tire. This was the very first agility obstacle we learned.






Here we are keeping warm learning more about the weave poles.


We look forward to finding another agility class and instructor in Portland!!
