I hope it's ok to post it here, because it's quite an inspiration for me, too.....

SG made an interview with some of the top agility handlers of the world during WC in Liberec.... and here she talks to Jaakko Suoknutti. He's an amazing person overall and I loved the point he made about not being afraid of making mistakes, trusting your dog and giving your heart into running.

I believe Mary Ellen Barry hosting Jaako's seminars this weekend at Kinetic dog in PA.
I hear USDAA getting bits and pieces of international style into their courses, looks like things are changing...

Inspiring video!

Her sheltie reminds me so much of Bailey when we first started... tail between her legs, trying to run off the field. She was just as timid, sometimes even worse than the dog in that video. There were days where I couldn't even get Bailey to jump over a hurdle. And many times after class, I considered quitting agility.

It took us two years until we were able to compete. And now we're at the point where my trainer said that she wishes I was more dedicated to agility because she would make us train for world team try outs. Bailey is a completely different agility dog from when we first started.

Wow...just wow....This video reminds me so much of Nellie & I when we first started agility, I being 13 and she being 19 mo, being no where near ready and with an unconfindent & nervous dog. This girl is definitely an inspiration to me to never give up! Thanks so much for sharing.
