Yeah, we finally had agility after being rained out for two weeks in a row. We doused ourselves from head to toe in mosquito repellent and hit our teacher's backyard. All of the dogs looked like dancing bears, walking on their back legs in their excitement to get to the teeter totter. I just knew I was in for a ZOOMIE night.
After practicing the teeter, we began doing a series of obstacles. Hubby dearest laid down in the dirt and got some pics of Jake sailing through the tire jump before entering a tunnel. It was starting to get dark so the pics aren't the clearest.
Jake did really well on all of the sets, completing them, stopping for his treat and then ZOOOOOOOOOOOOMING all over the backyard. Jake was not alone, though, and all the other dogs thought zooming was a perfect way to celebrate being back in class. One of our teachers has been on vacation for a while so she hasn't seen the change in Jake's focus. She said she was very proud of Jake! Jake hit his contacts well and with speed since we've had plenty of time to work on that the last two weeks on his traveling contact board.
Not only is Jake doing better but I've calmed down over the zoomies. I still hate it when he does it but thoroughly enjoy when someone else's dog does it!
