Congrats to those that have started or are planning on attending agility. I have been going to agility classes with two of my girls for a little more than a year now. They both love it and so do I. I had no intention of competing when we first started but I think I am going to head in that direction with at least one of the girls. I have learned some many things about dogs in general from going to agility classes. Agility is really all about body language, how dogs read your body language. Since body language is the main way that dogs communicate with each other, so much of agility can translate into life at home with our furkids and helping them to be more obedient in day to day life. I highly recommend agility for anyone with a high drive dog. It is so good for them to have a job and they do consider it to be their job.
I am so much closer to all my dogs and find they really watch me for body language clues.
