more home made agility equipment

It used to be a nice quiet backyard with green grass and pretty flowers here and there. AAhhh. But NOW, its an agility course. Jumps, table, teeter and weave poles. And tracks get worn in the yard, marks from the posts (not really) and all the commotion!

I'm teasing - its a lot of fun to hear Skippy and his trainer out practicing.





My son and his dad made all the equipment last weekend, tried it out and then made some modifications. A bit of friction tape added to the table, stronger joints for the weave poles (because the dirt is like cement they say).




Practice on our very own course helped a lot with Skippy's running of the big real course at agility class. Skippy looks forward to a few minutes here and there with his buddy out in the backyard training. It just seems to be Skippy's thing.

As our teacher, Jan, recommended: we move the equipment around often and we don't practice too long on any one thing. Keep it fun for both the dog and the young trainer.
