He did great! And it looks like you are getting as much of a workout as him!

Good job, Willie! I know it takes an unbelievable amount of work to get to that point,
LG, and I see how hard you have worked with your boy. Congratulations!

I finally looked at the video. You are both doing great! I remember one of the early ones you posted where Willie kept going around the obstacles rather than actually performing at each one. He's sure come a long way and it looks like he's having a ball!

He sure did! I had to laugh at him not wanting to go under that blue thingy, but you did good and got him back on track!
So is Annabelle doing well?

The video is too jumpy for me to tell on the weave obstacle (love it). And I think he'd go under the blue thing if you went under first, LG! :lol: Smart guy!

Great job Lucy & Willie!

I know how much hard work and commitment this takes from both the dog & the owner!

I just LOVE this. How much prep did you have to do prior to this particular class? Obedience classes first? You are doing wonderful, once a week or more?
I'd love for my pup to go through something like this. But first he has to learn his name.
What age do they recommend starting puppy training?
Well Done!!!

Hi Char!

Yea, get into a puppy class...they have to have some obedience before agility.....they DO have puppy agility at our club.....they are not allowed to jump till they gorw up, but they can learn lots.....Thanks for all the nice comments....I do love it so much......the comments AND agility! :lol: It is once a week for us....I would get a clicker and start doing stuff at home.....Here is a good place to start......

Then get a Retract-O-Click......get two....that way you will always have one.....I have had mine for a few years and it STILL works fine....but I do have my second just in case I miss place it or if it should break.....I have it clipped to my belly treat bag.... :lol: ....Your hands are free then.....best thing anyone suggested to me...
