today we got a 2 hour agility lesson from Diane Baumans Dog Dome in Sussex NJ.. Janet Feldman who has the #2 agility lab Dillion was my trainer. she LOVED ruby... and ruby LOVED the work.. we started out talking about the sport, while ruby got to run around the indoor agility ring (which is a HUGE horse barn) and they have an outdoor agility area too totally fenced in. and then got to work, we worked on first learning 2 commands, Here, and jump.. then we walked her thru a jump with no bars, then added a bar at the lowest level, then taught her jump.. she did excellent, so we moved to 2 jumps, no bars, then added a bar at the lowest level on both, and she aced those. then we talked some more on body language, and how i turn with my shoulder .. then we did the tunnel, which ruby aced, then we started on the weave poles learning to go straight with the weaves turned outward, it was alot of fun, and Janet commented how ruby loved to work, and how great she was.. we are going back next week for our 2nd lesson. its pricey, at $50 an hour, so i cant do it every week, but will do it at least twice a month .. our next lesson is next saturday.
so ruby is konked out on the couch right now sleeping off her mental and physical exercise.. i cant wait till next week

Maryellen,
That's awesome! Sounds like she picked it right up.
Can't wait to hear what happens next week.
