However, it's highly unlikely that Penny and I will ever get out of level 6, so that's a good thing, as this low level is much more relaxing.<br /><br />(I'll leave this comment on your own blog, also, so you see it without having to come back here.)parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-76486723154241878532009-10-27T10:41:28.867+11:002009-10-27T10:41:28.867+11:00Looks like a great day out - would have loved to b...Looks like a great day out - would have loved to been there!!<br /><br />YOu know, the more I hear about the class you used to go to, the more wonderful it sounds. I'd love to go to something like that that was a mixture of agility, tricks, dancing, fly-ball, etc....the problem with the indiv dog sports is that people take them too seriously sometimes, I think, and then it gets a bit boring...surely the whole point is having fun with your dog, learning new skills & handling in diff situations? I'm always keen to try new things with Honey...really looking forward to joining a Flyball class when we come to Oz...I know it's not very "creative" either but it's a team sport and I LOVE being in a team! :-)<br /><br />Hsin-YiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-61140694650521123722009-10-26T21:40:01.206+11:002009-10-26T21:40:01.206+11:00Mary, that's fascinating!

I took her over there a few times and rewarded for quiet sitting.

Not sure it is at all accurate, I always thought it was because of the fossicking also.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595085911431639840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-62234086284459536612009-10-25T23:45:07.383+11:002009-10-25T23:45:07.383+11:00It was an interesting post.

Jake went into super woofy playbows the first time he met a pony - not good, fortunately it was a bomb proof pony. These days he's much better round horses, ponies etc thanks to our dog walker/boarder - she lives near stables.Gussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167801673824194082noreply@blogger.com
