Frisbee to Shape Contacts
When we first started training Lilli in agility it just sorta happened. We did obedience classes first and agility sounded fun so we took that class then kept going.

I decided then that we needed to keep the two sports separate and never even brought discs to the field when we went to practice agility.

To see from the outside what I don’t see while I’m running around with my adrenaline pumping. To be a great agility team.

Each morning when I take my son to school, Lilli demands to come. It’s her chance to get a fresh sniff of the morning, track ducks near the roadside lakes and make adorable faces at fellow travelers.
