I went to my first agility trial last night, and ran my younger dog McLachlan, also a first timer!
He finished the course correctly, within the time, but with 2 course faults so no Qualie. (He missed the colours on the dog walk, and he crashed through the middle of the spread jump (something he'd never done!)).
But I'm so proud of him, other dogs were racking up 37 faults. And the dogs from the agility class ahead of me all got DQ'd, so my instructor apologised for saying I shouldn't have entered!
Anyway, the judge told me that Lachie look like he was having fun with me, and that it was the happiest run he'd seen all night.
I was glad to hear that because I can't remember looking at Lachie except on the table, and the weaves!
Anyway I just had to share!

Hi
CONGRATS!!!!!!!WD!!!!
I wish i could each my dog how to do that but she is to lazy

congrats! i took my pup to her first agility lesson the other night and she seemed to enjoy it... can't start competing for about 6 months (when she's 18months) but am looking forward to it!

I got to watch an agility trial for the first time on Sunday. It's sooo fun to see the dogs fly!

I've been teaching my dog (Standard Poodle) the different obstacles, but our yard is so small that I can either set-up 4 weave poles OR 2 jumps. Makes it hard to teach him to go straight from one item to the next

Good luck with your dog, he sounds promising
