So beautiful! And fast... I do agility with my Vizsla, but she is a very slow girl, nothing like this! Do you have any advice? :)

@DontWannaMakeIt Thanks, I am no expert (this is my first agility dog), but the way I trained Trooper, was to always make it fun. Find what motivates your dog most (a tennis ball thrown with a "chuck it" for Trooper) and use it. Also keep the sessions short, leave them wanting more.

@voicmjones Oh and we only use the tennis ball for very short sequences as he focuses on the tennis ball too much for the long ones. I use steak or chicken for the long ones.

Awesome job! He looks like a fun dog to run. Congrats!

[voicmjones]

@pollypoulos Thank you so much! I've been following Rainey for years now and that means a lot coming from you.

@voicmjones Awww..shucks.... :o)

I noticed Trooper moving up in the vizsla rankings. All your hard work is paying off!

[voicmjones]

@pollypoulos Thanks again.
