I'm much more impressed with Jackson today than I was when I first read this! He really is a natural! Sadie started her first "Playground" class on Saturday. (They call it playground instead of agility because they don't compete) All the equipment was so large that it intimidated her. It's funny, she is absolutely not afraid of any people or other dogs, but the inanimate objects really threw her. They suggested using some smaller equipment to get her used to the whole idea. I came home and made her a teeter board with a 3/4" pivot height and a really low table base for getting her used to getting on the table. They also used a ladder laying on it's side to train them to pay attention to their back end. The rungs came up to her nose! I made her a small ladder out of PVC pipe. I'll try to take some pictures of it all tonight. I'm quite proud of myself - and her. She's doing much better the smaller versions I made! Oh - and I got several toilet plungers to practice the weave poles. I'm going to make a small jump out of foam board. Sadie weighs four pounds. How big are your Yorkies? |
