Agility Seminar Day 1

Gus, Flex and I attended an agility instructors seminar today. Unfortunately Flex was injured on Friday morning by my other dog Izzy so he was not able to participate in most of the activities today. He is actually on crate lock down until the swelling has gone down and he is able to walk and run without limping.

Gus however spent most of the day being the demo dog on the jump demonstration. He did absolutely beautifully on the set point work. He did not knock any bars nor did he even touch them. He did numerous repetitions of this exercise. In addition, he performed the grid progression exercises. He was very successful. He rarely knocked the bars and he also had some amazing stays (up to 5 jumps out). Many people in the class who have seen Gus' jumping performance before were amazed at his improvement. He has come a long way in a short period of time. I am very optimistic that this method will help us fix his problems. Tomorrow Gus will be helping again on the weave & teeter demonstrations.
