PUPPY AGILITY CLASS: OBSTACLE COURSE
When Lusi was just five months old we started puppy agility classes at GAME ON DOG TRAINING with Karey Grisdale. Lusi was super excited at the new venue and meeting all the dogs in class. There were so many distractions for her it was almost too much. After one lesson I thought that I should perhaps give up but every Thursday evening we packed our treats and off we went to class!
Despite the enormity of the distractions, Lusi was right from the start in love with the agility games. She learned almost immediately that if you put a paw on this or that you get a reward!
But I think it went further and deeper than just a food reward; she absolutely adores doing the obstacle course equipment. In essence, just as some people like doing crossword puzzles and others find them stupid, Lusi just loves doing anything on the agility equipment.
Now bear in mind that she is still only a puppy and is only being asked to do games on the floor. But watch the video of Lusi at six months old, at the end of twelve weeks of lessons, and see how she "pulls" into the tasks!
