July 1, 2014 - We just started agility trials this year. In fact we are only 3 or 4 shows into open standard and JWW. Mac seems to like JWW best, maybe because he doesn't have time to worry about that strange person walking around the course with him. It would be helpful to connect with other agility beardie people to discuss how they train for issues like that. AND, I enjoy the photos of beardies flying around courses.
August 16, 2014 - I have been training agility for 2 years but just started competing this spring. Mac, Scotdale's Blue Light Special, has just moved up to agility excellent and has 2 legs of excellent jumpers. Mac and I train with an outstanding trainer and agility judge, Anne Riba.
June 10, 2015 - It took us 8 months to get the first qualifying score in Excellent Standard. On May 30th he got his third! The next day. May 31, Mac got his MXJ. A nice weekend especially since we got to watch other beardies, doesn't happen often here in the Chicago area.
