I have wanted to try agility for years. Pepper and I went to our first agility class Tuesday night. What a blast! Pepper absolutely loved it! I have never seen him work so fast! It is a beginner's class but we ended the night by having the dogs stay and then take 4 jumps in a row and come to the handler. He looked so cute jumping and did them all with style. We are currently training for utility and now I need to figure out how to get him as motivated as he is in agility.

Sounds like alot of fun for both of you. It's so nice when a dream comes true and you're actually doing it. Keep on having fun with it. Pepper is a sweetie and I bet he is just soaking up the new experience and all the attention. :)

Those Critterkin Cairns are naturals at agility! Glad to see you're getting into it with Pepper. Mac and Morgan loved it from the beginning too!

He is incredibly fast at agility! I have to make an effort to slow him down. I think in agility he thinks he has died and gone to heaven..there are no "no's" and food for just about everything..LOL!

...as opposed to his usually pampered life? Ahh, to be a Cairn. Glad you are both enjoying it so much!

Agility was as much a workout for me as it was for Zekey -- lots of running! I keep meaning to order a tunnel for him to use in the back yard.

Glad he loves his new sport. Jock as a youngster loved agility... the only problem was that he didnt love the huge doberman which was in the same class. Jock would fly around the course.. then make a dash for the dobbi. Not a good thing :devil:
