That'...Sounds like you had some great success! That's a bummer there were some poopy people. Sounds like it was all for training! My obedience trainer once told me, dog training is like a bank. You spend lots and lots of hours filling the dog's bank up with skills and training and treats and reinforcements. Then you go trial, and you are taking money out of the bank. So any time I can go to a training type venue with a full course, I use everything I can to fill up my dogs' banks!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610994972457978141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-33505261635177541942011-02-06T04:11:24.265-08:002011-02-06T04:11:24.265-08:00Sounds like you were the only one who knew the pur...Sounds like you were the only one who knew the purpose of a fun run.

Sometimes it's really hard to deal with that not so subtle pressure from people around you, even when you go with the intent of training.

Glad to hear that Cricket had a good first run and she was happy there.<br />I think being happy and enjoy the agility is the main point of doing agility. It is just sad that some people take it far too serious and make the games less interesting to others. However, I'm with you, why bother. Those people are just for us to have a good laugh at.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770349713578695608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-89947750032298456732011-02-01T19:34:21.094-08:002011-02-01T19:34:21.094-08:00Good for you -- you had fun!

Lighten up people and enjoy your dog!People in league are always yelling at me, because I don't start at the designated startlin"....even when I tell them I'm training, they correct me.

Good for you guys! It must make you feel really good to know that your trained her so well in everything!<br /><br />Glad you are able to laugh about those people at the club - they were being ridiculous. When did agility turn into that crap? It's supposed to be something fun to do with your dog and you totally had the right idea of using a FUN run as training!Chris and Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052668808100244423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-91004554772141107512011-02-01T08:31:34.418-08:002011-02-01T08:31:34.418-08:00Sounds like a successful day for you and your girl...Sounds like a successful day for you and your girlies- that's awesome that little Miss Cricket is out there running courses. She's going to be a fun one to watch :) <br /><br />What a bummer that people were taking a "fun run" so seriously.

Some people just need to lighten up!LauraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106055832592897298noreply@blogger.com
