Gemma is getting stir-crazy already. She’s mad-keen to get out the front door, poor girl.
However, this was Shadow’s night. Her tryout for Agility training. My expectations were not high after having to give her a stern talking-to about obeying instructions on her morning walk. She refused to come when called.
Tonight, she was a different girl. Apart from pulling on the lead a bit, she did all the tests standing on her head. It’s been years since I did the test with Gemma, but I didn’t remember the whole thing, so we did it completely cold.
We’ve never done a recall in that kind of situation (dogs everywhere, and flyball in the next enclosure!), but she not only came back from the “drift off and call back” and sat in front, but even on the “stay” and walk-away then call-behind-you. That’s the first time she’s done a “stay” in public, and one of the first half-dozen stays ever…
So she starts Agility classes next monday
