Yay! I'm sooooo glad to hear it. Rizzo sounds like he'd be perfect for it. I know Jackson is having a ball in our classes.
We kinda of started at home but honestly didn't really do much practice. I bought a set of weave poles and he learned the concept of those pretty quickly (I guided him thru with a leash). I also bought a little hoop jump so he learned how to jump through that. He had also been exposed to a-frames and dog walks, etc, at this dog park near my dads house but we didn't go too often.
But now that we're in classes every Saturday, I really want to purchase some good equipment or atleast make some so we can practice what we learned at home!
As for exercising beforehand, I think it all depends on the dog. At first, I thought I maybe should have taken Jackson on a walk first because in the first class, he was sooo ready to just get off that 6ft leash and run, but now that we've done 3 classes, I like him being READY to work. I also don't feed him any breakfast or treats the morning we do agility so he's hungry for treats!
I can't wait to see/hear how Rizzo does!
