Dylan's Blog – April

Dylan had an introduction to some proper agility equipment this week when the opportunity came up to go training at a friend’s house. She has a full-sized dog walk, amongst other things, so I let Dylan walk over it a few times and he was a confident little thing! No problems at all, although I kept him on the lead the entire time. We did it a couple of times in between doing some basic jumping exercises, which he loved. Right at the end we did a few run-ons to a target from the down ramp, which he did perfectly, so I couldn’t be happier! He worked over the jump exercises nicely too.

So that was his first proper training session! We worked for about an hour with Dylan and Jet, and then I did 10 minutes or so with Kim to make sure we would be ok for this weekend. We decided in the end not to take Dylan to EMDAC with us, although we might take him next time. I bought him a new frisbee and a (horrible!) pigs ear for his birthday, both of which he loved. I can’t believe he’s all grown up!
