» kelly2083 - first agility trial

we did our first agility trial and didn't do awesome ...actually we failed BUT we accomplished so many other things I'm thrilled and I've come to realize my pup is younger than I think ...he grew(?!?!?!)

I decided he is around 14 months this november.
He has a "jetting" problem. He's social and loves people and dogs and goes crazy over them so we would start a course and he would be like "excuse me did you see that hot sheltie over there? ...later gator". so we didn't complete a course(expected, just wanted to see where we stood) .....BUT my crazy dog who use to scream and throw fits when he couldnt' see other dogs or when I was out of sit, in a cage, etc. sat like an angel the whole time(4 hours) and behaved so well. He didn't charge after other dogs, he kept to me the whole time and when he did jet, I called him and he came back, which is huge.

He clearly was abused or hit by his previous owner and has come so far and was so confident and happy.

We are very proud ...and one day we will make it through the course(he's very good at agility, when the distractions are less)

thanks for reading
