All of these 6 hours weren't done together. Training takes place once a week on Monday. I decided to talk about these 6 hours together, because it was our first time and there's not that much to talk about.
Luckily my dog (Jacky) is loving these classes and enjoying them a lot. I already loved it at the first place, even when I hadn't had any classes.
15.09.14: Since we couldn't go to the two first trainings, the other dogs were two classes ahead of us. I was scared at first, because I didn't knew what to do at first and I was quite confused. Also I was scared about the tunnels, where dog has to run through them. I was scared that my dog was scared. But he wasn't and he was enjoying our time together. Our trainer was also very proud of us and praised us for being active and that Jacky was more interested of me, than other dogs.
22.09.14: Jacky was doing well again, he was a bit distracted by sniffing the ground but it was pretty easy to get him back to take contact with me. We were still practising the tunnel and everything was great.
29.09.14: We tried for the first time the collapsed tunnel, he didn't like it really much but he managed to go inside and do it after having some trouble. Jacky was this time a lot of trouble to handle. He didn't want to do anything, he sniffed around, he didn't care about little paths and tunnels even. I was miserable and thought, he didn't want to do nothing anymore. Trainer still wanted us to do longer path with more obstacles, including tunnels and jumps. So we tried it for the first time and he did it really well, since he really loves tunnels. Trainer said, that Jacky is more active and interested about agility, when we do longer paths and run faster - he loves running.
06.10.14: At this training he was really energetic and fine. He did all the paths and only mistakes that were done, were because of me. I cannot understand waltz steps I have to take and different hand I have to use or how I have to turn. Therefore my dog did amazing job. Also, this was our first time to try seesaw. He wasn't afraid at all and did it really well. + he first time went to the collapsed tunnel without refusing - I was really proud.
13.10.14: He had never been that much trouble. He didn't want to do anything, he pulled himself, didn't listen, did his own thing, sniffed etc. He was refused to go to the tunnel and jump over obstacles. In the middle he did a bit something, while running through one tunnel. But he still didn't pulled himself together and at the end of the lesson, when we tried new thing - weave poles, he refused to do even that. It was the worst training ever.
20.10.14: Since now the weather is rainy and cold we moved inside with our training class. It takes place in the stable, where there's also trainings for horses. That means that all the floor is covered with sand and it's quite uncomfortable. Fortunately my dog doesn't let himself be disrupted by that, and did his exercises amazingly well. He did seesaw and weave pole, like he had done it for his whole life. I was really proud of him : )
