Eddie is in his third Agility class, and he does quite well. He's often the slowest dog, but what he gives up in speed he makes up in being smart. He follows my directions well and seldom takes wrong turns like the other dogs. The result is he completes the course as fast or faster than the other dogs.

His biggest problem is the noise. He tends to get scared when a big dog slams down on the teeter. He's having to repeat Agility 2 because of that, but I'm finding he's getting better.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have him compete, but it's been a great bonding experience for us and good socialization for him with the other dogs.

YTer Dougal&Little is also into agility. Liz is from New Zealand, and her pups kick big-dog butt. Dougal won a trophy in his last class.

Here are some vids of Eddie doing so-so in the last class. He got scared on the teeter.
