Frankies agility video
I've been sick all week and Frankie was in slow motion tonight. I talked Troy into coming with us incase I started to have a coughing fit and had to leave. I know I did alot of things wrong in this but we are just beginners  Our run after this one was much better. Frankie always acts wierd after he comes out of the tunnel or the shute. It must give him static or something. Remember when viewing this, he's our little stem cell miracle.  Lisa Frankie and Mattie |

That is so darn cute Lisa and Frankie!!  Frankie is such a good boy, and a team player.  I noticed he has his harness on - you really should take if off. It has the potential to hook or catch on the obstacles and even hurt him. It may be part of the tunnel problem too. For that reason we run "nekkid"...no collar or anything...OK, Chewie that is, not me! PS - nice front cross you got in too!  |
| Great job Lisa and Frankie! Cindy |
| Yay! Frankie and Lisa! Great job! |
| Great job Frankie and Lisa. |
| Very nice front cross. Dawn, I was wondering ...... I'd never heard of naturalist agility before.  |
| Lisa, the video is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Frankie is such a good boy. You can tell he really wants to please you and is really working hard to do what you want. He may be getting "zapped" while in the tunnel. Here is California it is so dry that can be a problem. When the static electricity is really bad, I used to take a Bounce fabric softener sheet and rub it over the top of Hudson's head and neck (but not anywhere near the eyes) and it seemed to prevent the shocks. There are also grooming sprays to spritz on the coat that are anti-static if you think that might be an issue. I love Crowne Royale grooming spray for brushing and it comes already mixed in a spray bottle that will last you months an months and also make brushing easier because it helps prevent mats. I agree with Dawn, it is possible that the harness is rubbing or even catching on the ribs of the tunnel and that would be uncomfortable. Besides it is dangerous and could catch on something while Frankie is on an obstacle or jump. I either use no collar or a rolled leather collar that fits snugly and has NO TAGS on it while training and showing in agility. If you use no collar, you can use what they call a "British style" slip lead. It is one piece of fabric that serves as both leash and collar. The end loops through itself to form a loop that goes around the dog's neck so you have some control over the dog up until you start the course but the design allows you to slip it over the dog's head very easily when you are ready to run. If you have any interest at all in using one of these type of leads, I have an extra one I am not using now and if you'd like I would be happy to send it to you if you are willing to pay the postage. I think I used it once or maybe twice but it looks brand new. Postage shouldn't be very much as it is very light weight. I feel a kinship with you and Frankie as I am training my Hudson in agility now, too. And the leash really needs a good home because I have other favorite ones I will always use over that one. Let me know if you are interested. Linda Z |

| I enjoyed that! We are beginners too and there is so much to learn it can be overwhelming, but he looks like he is enjoying it and he obviously loves his mama and wants to please you! |
