I'm Jamie and I currently run my partners dog, Dexter, in agility. Dexter is a bit 'stoopid', which is our nickname for him. He walks into solid walls and doors often, so teaching him agility isn't exactly easy as it can take a long time for him to understand something very simple! But we love him for it! What I love about agility is pushing for perfection. Of course, no run will ever quite be that, but I go into every ring with an 'all or nothing' mentality. I enjoy agility the most when I get to run everywhere and race Dexter. And he loves it the most chasing me, so this style is suited perfectly to both of us! I see it as my job to make everything obvious for him while competing. If I do anything even just slightly wrong, he will make a mistake. Agility requires a truly deep connection between you and your dog to extract the best results, and I believe Dexter and I have this. |
