Agility Classes


What fun we had last week. I took Tess to her first agility class. We had a taste at the Christmas Party with a very small course which she loved. As Welsh Springer Spaniels have a mind of their own I thought it would both stimulate her and train her so off we went on Thursday.

The course consisted of a number of jumps about a foot high, an A frame, see saw, walk way, poles to weave and finally, a tyre to jump through.

First go I led her around on the lead. Exhausting for me but a piece of cake for Tess. She cleared every jump with ease. Nothing fazed her, so second go the trainer decided to let her off the lead for the jumps. Well, she whizzed round and before I could catch her, had cleared the A frame and was ready for the see saw! I couldn’t keep up with her! Hopefully a great way to keep fit for both of us! It wasn’t a very controlled exercise by either of us but not bad for a first attempt.

Roll on next week!!!!
