My son was so proud to finally teach Frankie something. They worked so well together today. I hope to do it again soon.
Once we got Frankie through the tunnel, he loved it and kept going through.

Awwww - adorable! And that IS Zoom Room! Both my kids took classes there! Very positive environment! Your son did a great job, can't believe it's Frankie's first time!

How cute is that! I would love to do agility with Willow. Maybe someday...

Thanks guys. Frankie did pretty well for his first time. It was a lot of fun but I don't know if we could do it regularly. To work with a trainer at the facility is way out of my budget. I don't know if I could do something like this in a group. Frankie would be way more interested in the other dogs than the equipment. But I will try to do a private rental again. They said you could bring friends for the private rental so maybe I will see if I get some others to join us to split the cost. 2-3 other dogs that Frankie already knows shouldn't be a problem. It's just those very hyper little dogs you typically see in agility that make Frankie crazy, he totally feeds off of their energy. Then again, maybe he would chase them through all of the equipment to complete the course, lol.

That is sooo great! Dee, your son and Frankie are totally adorable. I have friends, without sibes, of course, who are way into agility. There's a place near me that's actually not that expensive, but, yeah, the other dogs would be a major distraction. Winter's too young yet anyway. Maybe someday....

They generally have an Intro to Agility single class to see if you're dog will be ok - they're all all leash for the Intro and Agility 1. Chili was interested in the other dogs - but more because he saw them getting treats. He's very jealous of other dogs getting treats. We did well, though - he could focus for about 45 min of the 1 hr class - the last 15 min was challenging. We bonded quite a bit in the class - definitely glad we did it!

And you can do open gym time for $6 an hour to run him through the equipment - in the early morning hours are generally dead and you're on your own.

Super cute!!! I love AJs voice btw! What a little man
