Maybe he has a future as a course designer...

Yesterday Cash and I went to Bonafide Academy for their Saturday afternoon drop-in agility class. Granted it was a totally new environment for him, but holy moley what a case of zoomies! Good things: he held a SLS (Yay!), correctly weaved 6 poles 3 out of 6 times, dropped to a down immediately on a table. Not so good: "WOW, Mom! LOOK at all this space! See ya!"

He is such a total tunnel sucker. Have a tunnel ANYWHERE on course and he will find it. I had been entertaining foolish thoughts of entering him in a NADAC trial June 2/3. There is also a rally trial elsewhere the same weekend. I'm thinking we'll stick to rally for now and continue the agility TRAINING. Sigh...

I would love to see Cash and Trevor run a course together. Cash would get sucked in by a tunnel, Trevor would be standing atop the A-frame, and us two owners would probably be laughing like idiots!

I can see that happening! Cash is not a fan of big dogs. He tried to start a fence fight with the Golden Retriever next door when he was about 6 months old. However, he LOVES poodles of all sizes. Steve Soberski's standard, Yukon, is one of his all time favorites. Yukon just looks down at him as if to say (in a French accent), "I weel squash you lack a boog," and then ignores him which drives Cash crazy!
