Mr. Agility

This summer we signed Pablo up for a 6-week agility class. I thought it would be a fun thing for all of us to do while Pablo got some exercise and socializing in the process.  It was indeed fun! We learned a ton and saw improvement each week with the dogs and owners in the class. Since this was a beginner agility class, the dogs learned to navigate the easier apparatus. And the last class, we held a mock agility competition. Here are a few of the highlights:
