so he was really bad tonight! :(
The lady who owns the facility and who does the more advanced classes came into our class tonight to watch and see how we're progressing and to see who should move up for the next set of classes.... of course Kota acted up from the GET GO which made ME more anxious because I knew I was being watched. *sigh*
Must focus on the highlights....
1) he did ALL of the obstacles tonight (a-frame, dog walk, tunnel, jumps, weave, table, teeter AND chute) all off leash!
2) he did the teeter unassisted tonight for the first time!
3) he learned the chute in 3 tries!
4) he sucked up to the teacher while I bragged on my boy.
She had no idea he was a) intact, b) a CH, and c) had Rally titles behind his name. She also had no idea he was as OLD as he was.... so I apologized to her for him being a twit... he honestly was acting as tho there was a bitch in season somewhere nearby (which there wasn't). He wasn't the only male acting that way tho, so I wonder if there had been in another class or something...
I think the added pressure on ME knowing that the main lady was watching and making notes did not help our performance tonight.... I probably would have been better off not knowing she was even there. Oh well.
He still had a good time and he learned a new obstacle tonight, so that's always fun :) Now if he behaves himself all the way through, we'll have one heck of an agility dog!!! :) (oh, and if I can make it from beginning to end without wheezing, tripping, or otherwise making an @$$ of myself we'll be in good shape too!)
This was week 4 of 6.... I sense another round of this class coming ;-)
