Our free dog agility class 6/5/2011

City Dog pack had a very busy day during our last dog agility class.  We had many dogs show off their skills and we drew quite a crowd.  It was amazing to see how quickly many of the dogs learned how to negotiate the obstacles.  We even had a blind Australian Shepard come out and inspire the crowd when he jumped our highest hurdles!  Many of the pedestrians who were watching the class thought the dogs had a lot of experience with dog agility but most of the dogs who participated were in their first or second class.  Lola, a six pound French Poodle seen in the top picture, was fifteen minutes into her first class and she was dominating the course.  She was able to complete some of the obstacles of the leash in her very first class.  The dogs absolutely loved the class and some of their owners were pleased to see how tired their dogs were once they got home.  Besides developing a bond with your dog and giving them a sense of pride and fulfillment, activities like dog agility gives dogs an exceptional workout.  Everybody knows, a tired dog is a good dog!
