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. We thought it would just be something fun to play with between frisbee trainings. In our advanced agility course, I brought the disc out once as a reward motivator while in class and Lilli went bonkers and wouldn’t work. 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.
Some Tricks
I’ve gotten back in the swing of training Lilli every night. She’s actually trained me I think – after a week or so of steady night training, she’s asking me for it. 
Tailwaggers Agility Trials
Tailwaggers – a local agility club in Lake Worth are holding a 4 day trial this weekend at the Equestrian Center at Okeeheelee Park. We went to support and learn today – got to chat with the people that have supported our training and development – and witnessed first hand what to expect at an agility trial.
Flying Fast Agility Dog
Lilli had advanced agility tonight with our agility trainer Kristin Spillane. Since this is our first agility post, I’ll start at the begininng.
We started Lilli in basic obedience training when she was about 8 months old. We learned sit/stays, heals, come to sides, down/stays, recalls and how to walk around the little orange cones in a figure 8. Lilli thought obedience needed a lot more running. She learned quickly so we could move on to advanced obedience (conformation training) where we learned off lead and then on to where it really got fun…basic agility.
