A question for Agility handlers...

Tuck is still somewhat of a green novice at Agility. Although - frankly - I think he is doing great. We completed Beginers Agility and we are now in a class called Beyond Beginners. We've been taking classes since last April. I believe the next step up is Competition Agility at our training center.

Is there any reason not to attend Agility Run Thrus? I asked the instructor and she said fine but I had a funny feeling ....

Don't know if this is something one waits to be invited to? We go to class once a week and I feel like if we practiced more we would work better as a team.

I'm seeing some really good things from Tucker. He is watching me more closely. He is way faster than me but he has been slowing down waiting for my commands.

I have all I can do to walk and chew gum at the same time, Running him, remembering the course, thinking of where I want him to go and where I need to be, voice command, hand signals, body position... I need the practice probably more than he does!

He runs courses and completes them. He's not wild and all over the place. I believe a big shortcoming is my lack of experience. We both need to improve.

So what do you folks do?
