Last post I mentioned Knight going to the "big dog" novice agility class at DTCCC. We ended up going and he was spectacular. He was voted the cutest dog in the class by our fellow classmates haha.
We have been going to half hour lessons over at Rocky creek. The past two he's been a bit funny. Really just ignored me and hid behind the instructor. I made the mistake of lowering my voice slightly when I said his name after he missed a pole on the weaves and he refused to go near them the rest of the lesson. He's very sensitive when it comes to picking up hints of my dissapointment or frustration so I really do need to watch that. He doesn't know I'm frustrated with myself and not him.
After bombing the class on Wednesday I took him out thursday for a two minute session with lots of tugging and treats and that perked him right up again. Yesterday I took him out to play again and he was on FIRE! Dang, the little speed demon perfectionist was back haha.
We haven't been to any shows or Rally-O trials since June. I've been crazy busy. But I am going to take him to a Novice Obedience class tomorrow. We'll see how that goes :D
Starting in December I'll be going a half hour early to archery so I can leave by 8 and make it over to the Novice agility class at the club. I'll just do that through Dec and January. Hopefully by then I'll have a job and can afford to get him in the monday class along with Lilly. Then I can practice the full time with my X-team and not stretch my limits so much on Friday nights.
