I've been speaking to many trainers on the coast trying to find the one for me when I get Shippo next year. After explaining my plans to the local agility trainer, it seems that they're in the process of adding Rally O to their teaching lessons. As well as adding Canine Good Neighbor (Canadian verison of CGC) So by the time I'm ready to start training, I'll be able to take everything under one trainer!
I'm calling tomorrow to find out a time I can come down and speak to them in person. There's 3 trainers, speciallizing in each section and the classes are small so there's more one on one time.
This is great! I never expected everything to come together so fast!
Alex said that I've given up on Maze doing agility. And I have. I know she's not a sports dog and thats fine. She also has issues towards large dogs which will take a bit to work out. She has gotten better but I don't think she'll ever be trustworthy enough to run off leash on a course. But that's fine by me! She's still my little girl and my cuddle buddy. But sometimes I stop and wonder if I am some how letting her down because we can't do this stuff...Then again, we do go for long walks (just us) and we do training sessions still (just random tricks) and we spend lots of quality time together and that isn't gonna change when I add a second dog..
I dunno but I am glad that I've found a trainer who's willing to help me get to the level I want to be at.
