Basic Training I - Elite Agility Training Squad

When motivated Shila seems adept to agility courses. She loves the chutes and ladders scene and seems to appreciate a good challenge. I really want to get Sam the red dog involved, he would enjoy it quite a bit. He has a big brain and likes puzzles too.

She doesn't favour the round fabric tunnel obstacles, but has 0 issues going through them when she gets near them. What really makes her happy is running up and down planks and jumping onto high platforms. There is a yellow platform with a red circle on it that the the dogs are supposed to sit on when they do a lap. It's weird asking a dog to sit and be pretty after they just challenged themselves so much, but she doesn't seem to mind. Anything for an A.

I'm gonna scrounge up some sort of video device for the next training. I want to get some youtubage going of her having fun.

Last training session she did so well with tricks that she was assigned extra credit homework. See the poll to help decide what her next "big trick" will be.
