Agility Practice with Pals

Last weekend we had an off weekend from agility trials, but instead we headed up the road to get in some practice with our pals Johann, Gracie, young Rach and their mum.

We met up at the Canine Ranch which is like a Disneyland for dog sports, but on this day we were focusing on agility.

It's about an hour drive from where we live, so it's not a place we can go every day. But I like taking Rocco to different venues so he can get used to practicing with all sorts of new distractions around him.

We had a fun time alternating our runs with Johann and Gracie, and even young Rach got a chance to try out a few new things with the help of his mum.

They had a nice course set up with the opportunity to practice a lot of handling skills we're working on like rear crosses, backside jumps and a fast entry to the weaves coming out of a shoot,

We got our last run of the day on video… a little bit slower than the first ones, but still a great job and a lot of fun running with Rocco! Take a look!

After practice we took a walk around the grounds which includes a nice wooded path alongside a creek.

We did all that before lunch time, so after agility practice and our walk, we found a nice place for lunch where we could eat outside and relax. It was another fun day with pals and a great day to get outside and run around!

We have another agility trial this weekend and then the next few weekends off. What fun activities do you have planned for this weekend?
