Today I took my 3-year old Yorkie to our first session of the “Beginning Agility” course. I was a bit nervous because, until today, I had never done any agility work with a dog. However, there was nothing to be nervous about because the class was truly designed for beginners. Donna created a friendly and welcoming environment and set very reasonable expectations for the dogs and their owners. The class size was small enough that each dog received individual attention as needed. While Donna was working with one dog/owner, the rest of us were practicing skills with our dogs around the arena. Donna emphasized providing positive feedback to celebrate our dogs’ accomplishments, and even the smallest accomplishment was considered a win. My dog loved it, and by the end of the hour, she had already gained confidence in completing some of the course obstacles. We had a great time and look forward to attending the next class!
