Now you may think that the
words Airedale and Agility should not go in the same sentence. If
you thought that, you would be wrong. We are well into our second
season of AireCadets Agility, this year working with Noel Druisseau of
Paw-z-tracks . Our goals for agility are to have some fun (both the dogs
and the owners), learn a little about positively motivating a dog and to
do a demonstration of the versatility of the breed at the All Breeds Dog
Show at Shouldice Park August 4, 2002 (12:15 to 12:45 PM).
From my perspective, agility is great way to spend time with your dog.
They really do seem to love the action and the praise. This is the
second year Christie and I have done agility for fun. We don't
expect to compete but we sure enjoy the time together and it helps me as
a handler learn ways to teach and correct behaviours. For more
information you can contact me at (403) 251-9776. Lynn
