Rio is doing very well in his agility classes. Although yesterday one of the dogs got loose and attacked Rio! It was a little shar pei Pit looking thing, very similar to my friends dog who is best friends with Brinks. It was mostly noise as I didn’t find any marks on Rio but I had to give him a good punt in the ribs to get him to stop. It’s a young girl and mother who own the dog and they were mortified. Rio didn’t take it too seriously, literally was like “what the hell” shook himself off and we continued on like nothing happened.

Wow, good on you for kicking that dog! Incidents like this shouldn’t happen in classes so hopefully it teaches the owners a lesson.
 
It’s funny you say that because the dogs in the class should’ve already completed an obedience class (we didn’t, nothing was checked but Rio is good) and the class before there was two scuffles with the same dog, a terrier looking thing same size as this one. On the site it says any aggressive behavior will result in immediate revocation but that has not been the case. We were literally not even close to that dog minding our own business and he targeted Rio for whatever reason. I would’ve done more if it meant protecting my dog.

are they crated in between runs? If not... I would say buy a lightweight collapsible one from Amazon or something. We just had an incident in a class I wasn't in, luckily, or I'd have lost my sh*t. These two dogs have been in class together for years and the one just decided to bypass her crate and go after a corgi in another. Luckily the crate stopped her but she did manage to get some teeth on the Corgi's nose.

My little sun worshippers. We haven't had the heat on in the house yet which is perfect for Moose but Rubie is not a fan of anything below 70.

@LifeofRubie in our beginner class it’s outdoors and while there are crates available everyone just keeps their dogs leashed next to them. Only time I saw someone use a crate was because she had two dogs and rotated working them. We’re not all to the point yet where we’re completing whole courses, but working on foundation sequences and becoming familiar with the obstacles.

Hmm... I would still crate. Since a lot of the dogs are so new, they're still learning what the expectation is in this type of setting and I'm sure it's very stimulating for them! It's also good for teaching dogs to chillax in their crates in trial settings with people and dogs and excitement going on around them!
