Agility Demo
Written by Deb on May 10th, 2009
Kitzel, one of my student's dogs
Buster
He did the first jump, went off to sniff, did second jump, dog walk and a jump, sniffed, then did the tunnel, then ran under the ring fence to pee, then did a jump, then back to the edge to pee, etc. However this was an improvement since in the past he would have run off to go after other dogs, run after horses, etc. which he didn’t and each time he returned to work he got a bunch of treats. Very humbling but it was a good example to the spectators of how to be positive when your dog does ANYTHING right. My husband, who came to help haul equipment and has never been to a trial, got a lot of laughs out of his behavior……
Deb & Jazz at the demo 5/9/09
Of course Jazz was crazy since it was cool out and she had to wait in the car for the very end! The crowd loved her though.
Tori, another student's dog
It was a fun thing to do, we had a great crowd and I appreciate all my wonderful students taking time out of their day to run in the demo. And a big thanks to Tracy Jane Photography for sending me these great photos from the demo.
How fun Deb! Of course they loved Jazz!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ve done a number of demos and it is always good publicity for the sport of dogs. I have worked Caleb on scent discrimination and that is another crowd pleaser!
I love the picture of Jazz doing the trials. She is certainly a great looking dog. She doesn’t look very old?
thank you. Believe it or not she is SIX years old!! She is very athletic and keeps in shape. She is a challenge to work with as she is SO up that often she crashes bars but I am working on being a better handler, she absolutely loves the weaves which is really fun.
