Grete and I have been taking Agility classes for a while now. We blog about our experiences and more at http://metagrete.blogspot.com. (This entry posted via www.43things.com)
Once in a while, I get discouraged because it seems like we have so far to go before we can even think about entering a trial. (We’re just learning 2 on the floor and 2 on the board contacts right now, and we’re only doing a single 2×2 of the weave poles.)
At that point, I take a step back and realize that it isn’t about getting to the point of running at trials. It’s about how happy we are together working out puzzles together. “Shaping” is a form of puzzle for her. Figuring out the optimal path through a sequence is a form of puzzle for me. In the end, we’re just having fun together. It’s totally worth doing!
