Laika and Owen participated in an agility demo today, at an elementary school.
Beamer (a lovely LH red doxie friend of ours) and his mom invited us.
THere were about 60 kids there. Laika and Owen did really well. There were these really wierd BLACK and RED weavpoles with a big thick black metal base. 12 of them. And Owen did them!!! Laika did too but she's experienced :) They did tricks for the crowd too. But the best was at the end when the kids were just milling about meeting the dogs. This little girl came up to me and asked could she "train one of my dogs" I asked her what she meant and she wanted to run one on the agility course. So I got Laika out, handed the girl a treat and said go for it and Laika ran SO nicely for her. Really having fun and running fast. Then everyone wanted to run her...she prob. did the little course 10 times!! She even did the weaves for this one boy L) And Owen did tricks for treats for strangers! He's usually shy but he did really well with the kids.
I have such great dogs :)
