I agree with Martha that the tension in a class can make dogs a little nervous.<br /><br />For the tunnel, I don't know if this is going to work for you, seeing as Marge is more dog-independent than Brownie: we met a very nice, socialized, calm Bernese mountain dog using the agility course while we were around. Brownie and Bernie played for a little bit, and then Bernie's trainer asked him to go into the tunnel. Brownie is very sociable and she followed him right through - three times! I had tried to get her to go in with high-value treats previously - to no avail. But then again, I'm not sure if that strategy is going to work with Marge. :)Astrid Keelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362604916068297657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-39093668596853646692009-07-15T17:15:32.261-04:002009-07-15T17:15:32.261-04:00We enjoyed watching the video - it looked pretty i...We enjoyed watching the video - it looked pretty impressive!<br />You are really doing so well with Marge. We are not sure about training classes as we have never been so not sure whether it is better to meet the dogs outwith the class or not!<br />We will be interested to hear how you get on. Good luck.<br />love<br />Martha & Bailey xxxMartha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14339058720002383045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-49818124449507264962009-07-15T12:03:37.540-04:002009-07-15T12:03:37.540-04:00Nice video, she looks good.

Everyone gets a little uptight in class worrying how their dog will do, how they will do and what the other dogs will do. The dogs feel the human's tension.<br /><br />Morgan wouldn't go outside after dark from July 3rd till last night. Between thunder storms in the morning and fireworks at night, she just refused to leave the house. She seems better now.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.com
