Selby at the Guide Dog Demo

I have decided to create a blog so that I can keep track of Selby's improvement (and hopefully achievements) at Agility. At the moment we are both still learning, but we are having a lot of fun doing it!
Selby absolutely loves agility, especially the A-Frame and tunnels. With her registration coming through last week it's time to start entering in real events. We did go in a team event 2 weeks ago, but as you'll see when I upload the videos, it was a little too hard for her as a novice. (She has now done 3 events with hard courses but not yet attempted one at Novice level - hopefully this will mean it's going to be easy when we do!!
The video below was Selby's first public outing doing agility when the Perth Training club did a demonstration at the Guide Dog Association for their Open Day. At this stage she still hadn't learnt the weaves so we didn't attempt them. Selby loved the crowd and stopped to see the kids on the way round!
