Only a few days until Henry and I start our first real obedience class. Let's hope this goes a little better than my first (and last) Zumba class! Who knows...maybe Zumba would have turned out better if Henry had been there.
Classes at the kennel club alternate between agility and obedience. Because of the holidays, I'm guessing, there's a longer gap than usual between agility sessions -- three months. Yikes!
Since the thought of not having anything structured to do with Henry for three months is unfathomable, we're doing an obedience class. From what I've witnessed, the expectations at obedience classes are a bit different than at agility. Jumping up and greeting the instructors, for example, isn't considered cute.
So my big challenge will be keeping from getting too frustrated and trying to remember that this is all for fun. If we have even a miniscule chance of competing at anything, it will be agility, not obedience. But I've got to tell you, I'm not even sure we'll make it to agility at this point. My head spins when I watch competition videos on YouTube, and I seriously wonder if Henry will ever be able to complete a course without stopping along the way to search for crumbs.
