Clean run is coming out with a lovely new compilation of their "alphabet drills" - you might want to look into that too! You get a free CD demonstrating the drills if you pre-order before July 25th.

That is an interesting take on jumps! Very neat.

Very cool!  Wish I had a fenced back yard.   I was practicing going out and staying close around trees in the park and Jack loved it so much he was saying "Rghrgh" around the trees.   If I could set up little jumps at home he'd have a blast. 

 

I used to ride horses so seeing combinations and stuff is almost second nature to me;  agility is sort of taken from the jumper ring of equestrian sports.  Do I take the tighter turn and lose forward momentum but travel a shorter distance?  Or do I take the longer run and gain speed but also distance?  Same concept, different critter....

I wish I had a back yard too. As of right now I drag all my agility stuff out to our apartment's tennis court. When I want to set up the weave poles it can take me 3-4 trips back and forth before I get everything out there. It's a lot of work, but it is fun to see Baxter have a good time.

 

That's really cool. I bet there are a lot concepts in common. Just think of them as little horses.
