Last night we had our last basic obedience class with Murphy. He’s done so well, we’re going to take the summer off and bring both him and Molly to intermediate class in a few months. (Molly’s already been, but she’s forgotten everything – our fault for not keeping up with it.)
After class ended, we dragged a couple of pieces of agility equipment out and tried Murphy on them – he has no fear of anything, even the little narrow ramps they’re supposed to walk up and down. And the jumps…compared to baby gates, the little foot-high jumps were nothing. I really think he would enjoy agility training, although I’m not sure what sort of time commitment is required. I originally planned to look into it with Molly, until we found out she had hip displaysia. I think if she ever grows out of being a totally neurotic dog, I’ll look into therapy work with her. In the meantime, has anyone out there done either agility or therapy work with their dogs? Any info would be appreciated!
