Kota went back to agility last night for the first time since 4/23. Last week was too soon after surgery, and the week before the hematoma was so heavy that I didn't want to put him under any more stress than was necessary... It took him 2 run throughs to realize what was going on, and after that, he was SPOT on! Hitting everything just as I wanted him to, and back to being the star of my show! He's the token "little dog" in our class... we have 2 Border Collies (Clemens and Mason), a Belgian Tervuren (Eagan), a Springer Spaniel (Bella), a Irish Setter (Miracle), a Dalmatian (PJ) and us.
Kota saw his old instructor, Anita, in the other field (we were moved to a new field and a new time) and he "roooooooooo'd" at her good and loud. It was VERY cute. :) He was back at it like he hadn't taken any time off. Like I've said before, he's not the fastest dog (he did speed up towards the end of the class), but he has a great time.
It's great to be back in agility, even though we were sweating like CRAZY afterwards. We have 4 more weeks and then we're off for the summer. It's hot already, at 7pm, I can only imagine what it will be like in 4 more weeks.
Next up for training?
That's a hard call. Both Sedona and Chance have TONS of potential!
