Birch and Jamie's first lesson sounds like it went really well. I'm sure they are both going to have a wonderful time. Shelties really seem to love doing agility
Epic had his first lesson on saturday and unfortunatly we had a big hail storm just as we were going to start which delayed the lesson

. We did a couple of low jumps and a tunnel just for a try - in the mud! My friend with her 7 year old sheltie is there too and it's nice to have a buddy for Epic.
Our shelties didn't like being held by someone they didn't know before being called over/through but it sounds like you didn't have that problem? Wish I could have done the foundation work - that sounds really good. It will be interesting to compare notes.
