    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    Thanks Mafia Princess I have found a nosework group with the same people, just different facility. Problem is, the new 101 class doesn't start until July sometime. I would love to get her into something new as early as this weekend. She is an amazing girl who needs to work a bit or she gets...

    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    Thanks CaliTerp07 :) CaliTerp07, We also have a 9 month old Aussie mixed with Newfy that looks somewhat like your girl Lucy. Something about the eyes. I have fallen in love with the herding breeds. I have always had rescues which were mixed shepperds and a mastiff mix and a newfy mix...

    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    I got a really nice response from the owners of the agility center I had e-mailed the agility center and the owners really agreed with what was said here. They feel it was unfortunate that they weren't around for those classes to step in and offer their advice. I had thought about doing...

    Hello from the west coast

    Thanks :) I am sure I'm biased because I too believe she is one seriously adorable and photogenic girl. ;) I am in Western Wa, just south of Issaquah. Where are you KatieLou?

    Okay, just e-mailed the owners of the facility I talked with the hubby and he thinks you guys sound right on target, so I just e-mailed the facility and told them we need to do some positive association and I'm going to pull her from class for awhile. This is an awesome forum, thanks so much...

    Hello from the west coast

    Thanks for the welcome. K9Krazee, you are just the one I want to talk to! My girl looks like your ACD/Terrier mix but with a tail :) Yours is amazing, I love that signature line trick he is doing! My girl is the same way about experiences, she is super smart with a very long memory and...

    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    Awesome guys :) Thank you all for this timely advice. Yes, there is another location that I can go to but it is much farther away, at the humane society. Not that being at the humane society is bad, but I thought I was at a more professional place that specialized in agility. After the dog...

    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    Great! This is exactly the responses I needed :) I was thinking that it wasn't fun at all to see her prostrated on the floor. I felt awful dragging her by the leash over the jumps and up the walk. Anytime I took the leash off she ran away to the gate. Great idea's about positive...

    Does anyone have a dog that has a love/hate relationship with Agility?

    Hello to all, I have a 1 1/2 year old border collie/blue heeler/rat terrier mix. She sometimes seems to love agility, her tail wags and she flies through the course. Sometimes, as soon as we get there, she flattens herself to the ground and runs to the door as soon as I take her lead off...

    Hello from the west coast

    :) Hi, I have come looking for a forum for agility lovers and sifted through many before I found this site. My name is Elizabeth and my 17 month old girl is named Golly. She is a border collie/rat terrier/blue heeler mix and the joy of my life. I adopted her after I lost my...
