Rio had his third agility class tonight, look at us proud pupils ready for action!

As the time drew nearer, I noticed nobody else was showing up for class. Turns out, I was the only person that didn’t check their email and it was canceled due to a high of 98 IN OCTOBER. However it was fairly nice at 7 when we were there and the instructor was gracious enough to let us play around on the obstacles off leash. Rio was AWESOME. He so focused on me and tackled every obstacle I directed him at with gusto. He is also doing great with pausing in the contact zones. He’s so proud of himself (so am I!)

My mom came along and unfortunately it’s a bit too dark for phone photos so here is a not so great one of him doing the dog walk.

It was fun! I was glad we made the (45 min) drive anyway. He loves it, he was doing the obstacles without me even doing anything at first lol then I started running with him and directing him. I’m pretty impressed with him, though I imagine at an event with all kinds of other dogs and distractions might be a different story.

Buddy is so wonderful, I love that boy.
 
^ mind sharing the harness you are using? I like that “X” back design.

It’s a great little harness! It’s an Ezydog!
I was trying to find a picture of Tara wearing it from the front but can’t find one BUT here’s the exact same harness worn by my previous boy, Kobi.
Perfect for longline work, recall etc...

I believe @Brioddy also uses the Ezydog, too. If I remember rightly it’s a full backpack. Looks pretty awesome!

It must be the week for an abundance of critters in our house and swimming pool.

First we found two land crabs in the deep end of the pool. Bogie went bonkers trying to get it. I had to finally put him up.
Then Bacall started going nuts at the pool and I went and looked and she was chasing a 3’ iguana around the pool deck. It goes in the water at the corner of the pool, she cut the corner too tight and fell in. :spit:
The iguana stayed underwater for a long time and every time it tried to surface she was there. Finally she managed to grab it and drag it out. It played dead for about 10min. I picked it up to put in trash thinking it was dead...nope it came alive in my hand. I hollered for Bogie and he came down and finished it off for me. Bacall doesn’t want to kill them.

Wow I didnt recognize it as an ezy dog harness. Jasper had one as a young pup.

Thanks for the info guys. Ill have to look into them again. Im sure there would be a crap load of training to do for a harness. Jasper can be a puller at the start of a walk.

Happy dobie

Well, I have trained Jazz that the harness means pulling with a consistent tension and being directed by body attitude and verbal commands. This is hard work for her and she soon decided that if she wasn't asked to pull she was more than happy to walk nicely loose leash!
 
Feels like forever since I've been on the forum! I was traveling for work the two weeks after vacation and the weekends have been getting so busy!

Moo and Rubie in A Stare Down. This lasts until Moo play bows and then Rubie streaks down the stairs and they run circles around the house :facepalm:

Whenever we take the dogs to run errands with us, Moo inevitably ends up in my seat and I'm delegated to the back seat with Rubie.
