I have also completed 2 agility courses in which I came 2nd and 3rd. I love agility and can run really fast, leaving my humans behind shouting directions. At first I was scared of the 'A Frame', a big 6ft climb up and over. I fell off the first time I tried but thankfully Polly caught me, well more precisely I fell on her face and it cushioned the landing. It's been fine ever since as I've got every confidence that she would catch me again should the need arise. Occasionally I like to balance on the top for a while, to scare people, before running down.
My favourite is the table as it's a chance to have a rest, and I love the tyre too. I also enjoy doing recalls over a long line of jumps. Sometimes I like to pretend I don't know what my humans are asking me to do. That's great fun as they show me by running over the course themselves. And they are supposed to be the superior race? Sometimes I despair. I am going to do a Flyball course next. The jumps are very small and I get to play with a tennis ball after I've jumped them. How easy that is going to be!
