Agility Training begins

So now Rupert is 9 1/2 months old I have started his agility training properly!, On Sunday we went to see Jo and had a really great training session, with him working independantly of me. We used a line of 4 jumps and by the end of session 1 he is now waiting on the line to be released and then taking the jumps overtaking me in the process. He had a really great time, not only because he loves agility but also because he got to see his friend Zippy for a game. On the home front his testosterone has kicked in a bit more now and the poor boy isn't really sure what it's for! he has been scenting over the clean washing which is hung to dry on our clothes airer!! not really naughty as he doesn't understand, but he needs to learn that we can introduce whatever new smells we like into the house and he must accept them, I must do a little more research on this one, but I'll keep you posted what methods we decide to use.

Just for Chris!

Not much to report on the Training front really, the weather has been too awful for outdoor activities so I've just played around with Retrieves!! and I can now say that Rupert really does not like his dumbell!! He will hold it nicely and pick it up by going around it first but it's all in a really cringy manner! so I've stopped using it for the time being and reverted back to his agility toy! I get the feeling he doesn't understand that sometimes you need to pick something up and not play with it, so I will have to work harder to find the right motivator for it before I try again, after all there's no rush.

A little birdie has told me that Grandad Chris has been having withdrawal symptoms from his fave grandson so here are a few pictures just for you XX
