Intro to Agility

Besides the really horrendous class that we took in Kalamazoo, which did not introduce any obstacle besides the tunnel, Kastle hasn't had any agility classes yet. I really want him to be my agility dog as well so I felt like it was time to get started. After classes at Pawsitive were done, I got Kastle out and introduced him to some obstacles: tunnel, the proper way to do jumps, dog walk, a frame (by far his favorite), table and the tire. He is difficult to handle right now. He's too high for a "real" toy so I used one of Eden's stuffies and even food made him too high - I think he's overloading off the equipment itself. Anywa, when he's too high, he jumps flat, runs rampant and doesn't listen well - while whining/barking too. I finally got him calmed (tired/hot) enough to function and we managed to do a decent review of all of the obstacles. I'm thinking next time he will work for no toy and only food off-course...
