Someone shoot me, i cant keep up with Phantom's energy.Phantom did 2 hours of agility today, when I tried to rest us, he dragged me back to the ring. And he loves the dang A Frame. He also learned the weave and did it flawlessly 6 times. After 2 hours of agility he did about 45 minutes of obedience before getting bored. He wanted back in the agility ring. He is like the energizer battery, he just keeps going and going. Rascal did the high dog walk balance beam thing beautifully. He loves the tunnels and chutes. I also took Fiona on a mile walk.

Have your sons or "Hubby" take a shot at it. :)

This is my second year, but I'm hoping to get our time down for next year. We would have been faster but i hurt my ankle during Fitting and Showing the night before

Ours was a 11 obstetrical course in a M-shape. The table adds on 5 seconds so with out the table, cindy and i could have ran it in about 31ish seconds.

I'm sure nala could do great, if her legs get better.
 
My agility trainer says Rascal will be awesome at agility. But we need to work on my son who is handling him. My son took him on the high balance beam without permission or a spotter. When I saw Rascal up there I couldn't believe my son did that, I nearly had a heart attack. The trainer and I both got there as quick as we could, without running to spot, then got on my son for recklessness. Rascal was unfazed by it all and then did it again, properly this time with the trainer spotting. Gotta teach my son to think safety first or he will lead Rascal to injury and ruin. Rascal does have a problem with the weave, but he is willing, just don't know what's expected of him yet. Which is OK, we have only done 2 agility classes and he is already doing some of the sdvanced obstacles well. The biggest problem is my older son thinking Rascal is invincible. He needs to learn to watch out for and protect Rascal from possible harm, but not taking advantage of the dogs willingness to do whatever is asked of him.

Phantom is great at weaving, loves the A-Frame, will do tunnels but needs coaxing, and does the low balance beam well. He does not like the teeter-totter or the chute, and gets lazy on jumps sometimes knocking bars down. But I think he can become a good agility dog with more time and practice. Again we have only gone to 2 classes in agility so he is doing great.

Sasha will only be an OK agility dog. Many of the obstacles bother her. She takes the jumps and A-Frame well. Won't stay on the balance beam, won't get on the teeter-tooter, has to be coaxed through tunnels and forget the chute, lol. We haven't even tried her on the weave yet. But, it's good exercise for her, she is about 3 pounds over weight and so I'm looking at agility training as part of her weight loss program. I have no issue with my youngest son training with her and Phantom, it gives me a break cause I'm too old and have too much back pain to run the coarse. Sasha is his dog, and she will only work for him. The bond between them is something I don't want to interfere with. The way we work it out now is my son trains her in obedience, he also trains her in agility until she gets too tired. Then he gives her to me and takes over with Phantom while she an I rest together. Guess she is my lazy partner, lol. Once she is rested, my son and I swap dogs again. It was the best compromise we could come up with, and it means my son is learning to handle 2 very different dogs. Phantom is non-stop, overly confident, and just a natural, when my son has him i have to watch to make sure their recklessness dont take over. Sasha is the opposite in every way, she is slow but steady, a great dog to put with a risk taking kid, add in the fact that my son is very concerned about her and she is such a gentle cry baby and he has been learning great restraint handling her.

That leg isn't hurting her no more. But she's walking fine, I think she just sprained it at the show.
And that's the shape of our agility coarse. I record a run for you Saturday. There's like 15ish obsticals in ours.
