Video of Melli learning agility

Hey, you are way ahead of my Evil-dog on the chute thing. She's *just now* after two years of training doing a USDAA chute (the long ones). And she still dives under the tire frequently (ARGH!)

The cool thing about agility is that regardless of the shape, size, coordination, or speed of the human, someone out there knows how to train around it. You don't think those BC people keep up with their dogs, do you? Nope, they just know how to send the dog and meet up where they need to be.

Keep it up! if nothing else, you learn different training techniques you can apply elsewhere.
 
I want a variation. The handler stands on the table and the dog has to do the whole run with the handler standing still. At the end of the run the dog joins you on the table.

If the BC people and whistle and get the sheep herded, that should be a snap.
 
There is a lady at the comps I go to, she can't walk very well, certainly can't run. Both her dogs are trained to work at a distance. She basically walks into the centre of the course and directs them. It is really great to watch.

Unfortunately I have trouble standing still for anything more than 30 secs, which makes obedience, especially stays, a slight challenge, because I want to be on the move not waiting around:winkgrin:
 
Someday, when I either get Melli thin or get another dog I would totally do that. Stay -- walk to center -- GO and point, point, point. Now THAT would be fun.
