Mocca's Agility Classes

Mocca is anxiously awaiting her 3rd agility class tonight. They are at 530 on thursdays.

Tonight we hope to learn something new & challenging. So far things are pretty easy.

We do jumps, a ramp ("over"), a plank ("plank"), a chute ("chute"), a tunnel ("tunnel"), ring jump, weave poles (very tough) and a table ("table"). Mocca's favorite is the table! She loves to jump up on it, perhaps because she has her very own table at home where she sits most of the day?

We are learning more & more to guide with the hand closest to the dog. Mocca did very well with this last week - she was always looking over to the hand I guided with for a treat. The trainer gave us some praise on that! Our biggest problem is off lead, Mocca's head goes down to act as vaccum cleaner for any dropped treats.
