Hi Linda
Your Corgis are really lovely.
You've given me some confidence that Taylor could successfully do flyball.
It only took one proper session Yesterday for him to "fly" onto a table, go in a "down" position on the table at the command. stick there for five-ten seconds and jump off on the word "go." Previously at home or in training on the other contacts, he simply would not do the "down" bit. I still have to say "down' more than once ( I got to saying it twice) but next week, it will a single command.
Why are female dogs more enthusiastic on the whole with agility? Is is because they enjoy a close relationship with their owners more so than the guys?
Taylor only barks when he's doing agility when he feels that I am confused or confusing him. He tells me off - "what are you doing, man," he says.
I'd love to see a really great Corgi agility exponent competing in NZ. Like to come and bring the Corgi?
