We've been learning some foundation agility at class and Vincent can be 'sent away' and come back over 2 'jumps' (he's not allowed to jump because he's only 9 months! He'll be allowed to do it once he's over 12 months

)

Here's a link to the class facebook page:

He got a little distracted once he got to his send away spot, there was a bouncy spaniel nearby!

Anyone in Manchester area thinking of going to a class Jane at WaggaWuffins is amazing

I'm very proud of him and hoping this is the start of something amazing, I would love to do agility with him once he's old enough

Cockapoos are the best!

Lucky you, Ruth

I have been trying to get into classes for ages, finally starting with Izzy next week - I think it may become a bit addictive....

It's very satisfying seeing them get it! We're trying flyball, but Vincent doesn't like to catch!!

I dont understand this no jumping rule ,Buddy jumps over things all over the house and when out for walks alot higher then the jumps for adult dogs!
I can understand if its a very small dog i suppose.

it's to do with bone development, apparently they can damage their bones so most centres don't allow dog under 12 months to jump! Vincent jumps ALL the time! I guess it's liability, you don't want someone coming along and blaming a dog centre that their dog has damaged bones or something.

Well done that sounds great, I think Dudley would love agility, I have a kids play tunnel that he zooms through (although he does stop to eat it from the inside sometimes!!) I do worry about the not jumping though as we have some small walls in the garden that he is always scrabbling onto and jumping off and I worry he could damage his bones.

I think it's about reducing it where you can, as long as he's not jumping over everything he should be fine
