PeppersMom Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have wanted to try agility for years. Pepper and I went to our first agility class Tuesday night. What a blast! Pepper absolutely loved it! I have never seen him work so fast! It is a beginner's class but we ended the night by having the dogs stay and then take 4 jumps in a row and come to the handler. He looked so cute jumping and did them all with style. We are currently training for utility and now I need to figure out how to get him as motivated as he is in agility.

Dempsy's Mom Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Sounds like alot of fun for both of you. It's so nice when a dream comes true and you're actually doing it. Keep on having fun with it. Pepper is a sweetie and I bet he is just soaking up the new experience and all the attention. Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Those Critterkin Cairns are naturals at agility! Glad to see you're getting into it with Pepper. Mac and Morgan loved it from the beginning too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeppersMom Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 He is incredibly fast at agility! I have to make an effort to slow him down. I think in agility he thinks he has died and gone to heaven..there are no "no's" and food for just about everything..LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekey's Mom Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 he has died and gone to heaven ...as opposed to his usually pampered life? Ahh, to be a Cairn. Glad you are both enjoying it so much! Agility was as much a workout for me as it was for Zekey -- lots of running! I keep meaning to order a tunnel for him to use in the back yard.

Sam I Am Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Glad he loves his new sport. Jock as a youngster loved agility... the only problem was that he didnt love the huge doberman which was in the same class. Jock would fly around the course.. then make a dash for the dobbi. Not a good thing Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. - Anatole France Adventures with Sam &Rosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShep Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Don't mean to hijack the topic, but mine is so similar I didn't see the point in another. Ripley and I have just gotten into agility too and I am ridiculously excited! I'm so ignorant about the whole thing, but I'm sure a couple of hours research on the forum will be a good introduction. We had a private lesson today and Ripley is a natural. Definitely time to look into that ilp/pal registration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatosandwich Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Go, Pepper, go! I look forward to hearing all about this adventure (and Ripley's, too!), so Divot and I know what to expect this spring when we give agility ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairnsby3 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My comments really apply to training our Cairns to do anything: Keep it fun Don't drill over and over Don't expect perfection Pay often Don't slow them down, later you will learn to take shortcuts to get ahead Don't be disappointed if you do alot of foundation work in your lessons, and you don't get to just go out and run courses, the foundation work will pay off in the longrun.
