Teddy in Agility class this week

Here is a video of us in our beginner class earlier this week. We have so much fun! We have a long way to go but it should be a fun road to travel! I've had to slow him down some on the dog walk and A frame as he just wants to run like a wild man over them! The good thing is, he isn't afraid of any of the equipment. I'm sure all our hikes at Starved Rock State Park on all different kinds of bridges, stairs, rocks and trails made for good training for strange surfaces.

Enjoy!

Is there anything that Teddy DOESN'T excel at? He's one amazing guy.

Great job Cindy and Teddy!!!

Teddy looks like an old pro! I love the way your class starts out with the dog walk and A frame lower than normal! My intro class didn't do that and I was petrified!

Teddy looks great! :banana:
Teddy is fantastic at everything and he looks so adorable doing it.
:hearts: :hearts:

Wow, really, they started at the normal height? We actually missed the week in the first session when the dog walk was flat on the ground to just get used to the narrow surface. The A frame was even lower in our first few classes. Sandy with James is actually the one that recommended this trainer and facility. Bev is a great trainer. I'm thinking of also going to her obedience classes. I like her methods and positive training style.

Good job Teddy!

In Simon's first classes they had the A-frame at full height too. It didn't scare me but it was tough on him. Now he just flies over it.

In no time at all, you'll be in competition showing off all your great training.
:clappurple: :clappurple: :clappurple: he looks like a natural
Not just a handsome face, is he? :hearts: :hearts:
Not only a handsome young man but way tooooo cute and loved the video :kiss:
I LOVE the video. Thanks for sharing.
Teddy is clearly fearless, highly motivated by treats, and
wants very much to play this game. I think your trainer is doing
a great job. Your handling is pretty good, too. You should go far.

We always start the A-Frame, Dog Walk and Teeter at a very low
height until the dog is confident and sure of their footing on the equipment. I would be very worried about starting them at full height with a green dog. I also think that running and jumping over logs, around branches, over streams and through the woods in an off leash situation (once the dog is TRULY PROOFED for a REALLY RELIABLE RECALL -- and ONLY if that is 100% certain can the dog ever be off lead safely outside a fenced environment) is a super way for a young dog to learn how to use their body.

Terrific job Teddy! ...and Cindy!
Teddy looks like a big TEDDY!!!! He is FANTASTIC!!!

We started going agility with bloo too!!! But bloo isnt as well behaved, if he saw that dog he would be barking and running off!! LOL
You are such a good mommy Cindy. :-)

Who was your breeder? They definitely outdid themselves with Teddy!
