| Yeah! We're going to start agility ... at home! I got bit by the agility bug after watching Crufts... Tink would be great at flyball (she's very fast, loves to jump, loves balls, and barks a lot)... but we'll start out with basic agility... indoors. Ha! I tried a few years ago with a cheap set in the backyard and it did not go well. So I picked up a little ON 'My Agility Set' to use in the house. That did not go well either. Packed it all up and now we're going to try again. First session this morning went fairly well... I was actually shocked at how well they did... well Tink and Sapphire, Finny disappeared (a trick I did not teach her!). They were introduced to the tunnel, a jump, and 3 weave poles. Tink was the first to do them all, and Sapphire gave a valiant effort, but then got spooked by Tink's excitement and hid under the bed. Second session, Finny decided to join in. She walked over the jump, then just started plowing through it. (I think the velcro stuck to her fur). They all did the tunnel, and the jump well, Tink knows the names of the pieces but when I say 'Jump' she tends to jump in place, lol. I decided to add the weave poles... my bad.... as soon as I put them in place Finny grabbed one and Tink grabbed another one, lol... end of session as I was laughing too hard to continue. I will build a set this spring, we had a blast in the house and I think it'll just be great fun for them and me.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh how cool! And fun. And what a great way to interact with them. I bet they just *love* it. You'll have to take some videos like Brit sometimes does and show them off to us . Would love to see it. Do you think you'd ever get into competing?

I'm a bit housebound for the time being, but if I ever got good at training them to do this, and they or one of them was great and loved it... oh I'd love to compete! I'd get to visit Harry and Sally! Hahaha!

| Definitely get videos! I miss it. We've been out class since November. It got pricey at $150 per session and I had to take a break. Hoping to be back at it by next month... was supposed to start this month, but money got tight. Have fun!!

| Well if you're going to England, I'm going to England. You need a troublemaker...
