Kota and I started our Obedience/Agility class tonight and Oh My Gosh did we have fun! It ended up being an hour and a half long class cuz we ran long (and were informed that we'll almost always run long), but Kota did SO well and we both had a GREAT time! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed training him! :)
At the end of the class, the instructor asked me "where did you train?" When I told her we hadn't trained formally in a good number of years, she only had great things to say about Kota... how well he did, how great we did as a team, and how she couldn't wait to watch us grow... it was SO nice to hear good things about my dog.
Keep in mind, the last time I went to a class like this was when Ollie and I were asked to "please" not return. *sigh*
Kota experienced the dog walk, the A frame, weave poles, a tunnel and (low) jumps tonight, and handled them all with great finese and excitement. I can't wait to really challenge him! He's SO smart and will work hard for me... I can't wait till we can run an agility course together!
Kota now has a job, and now *I* have something too, that will get ME active as well! :)
It's past my bedtime now though, and I'm still wound up... :( THIS will be the only problem ;-)
