Freya had an assessment tonight for the Agility Club of Victoria and has been accepted and will start training in September. What I was happiest with was her zero reactivity. Agility is a very exciting environment for most dogs but she wasn't reactive and barking like crazy or focusing on the other dogs. It's taken an incredible amount of work to get her calm and neutral around other dogs. We did a lot of work with Chiara at Point Cook Dog Training teaching our dogs to settle and be calm like in this video where Freya is focused on me, in a drop and ignoring the other dogs who are warming up. We start agility at Point Cook Dog Training in May, Freya is class 2 in obedience and we'll also do more agility at Werribee Dog Club, so lots on until September. Keep training your dogs, keep working on them. Train them on walks, train them throughout the day, every interaction with your dog is a learning opportunity.
