Agility Canadian Style

Thank you to Jo-Anne and Dave at http://www.icdogagility.com for the opportunity to have a run on some Canadian equipment

After a lovely walk to Elk falls to tire out Billy & True we set off to Black Creek the home of Incredible Canines to take part in our first Canadian agility class.

The contacts are rubberised - HURRAH!! Chi had run on these types of contact at the Sheltie show in Germany and I was a convert as soon as I saw them. The dogs gain much more grip with no sliding about. Apparently it is quite a skill to get the surface right and Dave seems to have done the perfect job as you can see from this clip Chi did a cracking dog walk.



Although we are a bit rusty - eg the left turn and right turn I was sooooo pleased that Chi had fun and no problems with the new equipment.

Really glad that you are getting the agility bug back again Lisa, and Chi has not lost any speed.

You say you are a bit rusty, but hey Lisa you don't want those Canadians to see what you can do from the outset do you, keep a little secret up your sleeve.
