I was told that I wouldn't be doing it, too many complaints last year.
It was great to see Marinepits and her husband...

I let some people and dogs try a few agility obstacles with assistance and explained how it takes positive training and patience to get the dogs to work. I loved having the dogs try the tunnel. Many people don't think their dog will go through, but with a little patience and positive reinforcement they do it and the dogs seem so happy and proud of themselves! Then I have them do it a second time and they zoom right through.
I agree that a bit more emphasis could have been on education and that is a good goal for next year. Actually I had wanted to have games/contests that focused more on a dog's obedience skills and manners than just the cutesy stuff, but oh well, it was fun. I was kind of surprised that there were so many people because the weather was supposed to be bad. I think there might have been more people and dogs than last year. I'm open to any suggestions for improvements for the next event.
