Klaus is a star at agility training

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Klaus is now getting to grips with his agility training in that he actually watches what the other dogs do.  He now goes around the course with a long training lead trailing so he actually thinks he is off lead.  He is fab.  I guess the next step will be off lead completely.  He loves it, you can see the concentration in his face as he tackles the see-saw and the collapsable tunnel.  We are very proud of his progess.

Klaus started agility training

Last Saturday Malcolm and I took Klaus to agility training.  For a big boy, he is such a baby!  We started on the ‘A’ Frame and he cried all the way up and all the way down but after a couple of goes, he got the hang of it, and enjoyed the treat at the end.  He then moved onto the baby walk which is a plank up, a plank along and a plank down.  He really didn’t like walking the plank but again with a bit of encouragement, he did it.  The jumps were easy for him and the tunnel was fine once he saw his ‘dad’ waiting at the end!  After all the practice, we did a complete circuit with no issues.  Well Done Klaus!

Klaus has almost finished his first course of puppy training

Klaus can now sit, stay, lay down and stand.  He can also come on command…. all of this is still only when he wants to do it but he is getting better day by day.  After next week he goes up to his next class.

We had a breakthrough in the fields though, he now brings his beloved frisby back to us and just chucks it down at our feet, it makes throwing and retrieving much more fun.

Poor Klaus had his first visit to the vets a couple of days ago.  He has a sore lip at the side so we have to put cream on it twice a day other than that, he is growing and getting more fun with each day.
