After months and months of puppy and junior dog foundation agility training with Ethel, she finally turned the big ONE, on the 7th June, which means now, her official agility career can safely begin! She will be able to soar over higher jumps, practice some weaves, brush up on her tunnels, and strut over the contact equipment with pride and pleasure! It's going to be such an exciting and thrilling learning journey for both of us as we progress. It's going to be quite a ride! But no matter how rough or smooth the road is on the way to success, we are going to have such FUN!
Earl and Ethel are going to make such a fabulous agility pair, as they roll up to training and competitions together, and I finally have the chance to run both. I will have to learn how to switch in an instant from Earl running mode to Ethel running mode, as they are both different. I will have to train hard, just like I did with Earl, to make Ethel the amazing dog Earl is in this sport. I'm heavily looking forward to progressing!
We're joining our hosts, SlimDoggy, To Dog With Love and My GBGV Life, in the FitDog Friday Blog Hop. We send many thanks their way, and you can join in below.

DeleteWhat a cute picture. Looks like he's going to be a natural.
ReplyDeleteThanks! She should be - her foundation training and practice shows me she has it in her!
DeleteI can't wait to see some videos of them strutting their stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe'll get some cool footage soon!
DeleteEthel has to work hard to live up to Earl! My sister and I are totally different in sports too. We each have our own way, and it works.
ReplyDeleteShe sure does, I agree! Earl is a super special little man. The differences are what makes running interesting!
DeleteHow exciting!! Looking forward to seeing her progress, you'll be a fantastic trio!

DeleteHi Y’all!
ReplyDeleteOh, we are going to have so much fun watching the journey as you travel through it!
My Human thinks movin' a blog, especially a long established one, is akin to movin' into a different house. It takes awhile to get everything unpacked and put away and even longer to remember where everything is.
Check us out at our new home http://www.browndogcbr.net.
Our theme is still changing periodically as we try to select one that works the best for us and you, our readers.
Y’all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
We can't wait to tell you more! And good luck with completing the new blog!
DeleteYay! Is it generally one year for all dogs or is it lower for small dogs because they mature faster?
ReplyDeleteIt's general. One year is the general age for dogs to safely begin proper agility, however some people believe even later is necessary - this more aimed at larger breeds, I assume.
DeleteThis will be so much fun to follow! We would love to share your accomplishments on the BFTB NETWoof News Sports. Please let us know so we can brag about our friends!
ReplyDeleteOf course you can brag about us, hehehe! We'd once again be honoured to feature!
DeleteYou captured a great picture. Good luck on your agility career ethel!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and thanks again!
DeleteOh yay!!! So much fun!!!! Good luck!
