Your dog is gorgeous, i started agility with my border collie this year, she has really taken to it, she's called Maggie too! :) Full name Maggie-May though, keep it up! (:

[collieinthekeys]

@MonkeyCantFly Thank you. That video is pretty old now. Maggie is now about halfway to her MACH after having to run preferred for several years due to a bad height measurent. That saga is depicted in a more recent video on my channel - it's the one with my border collie called 9 Months of Trials in 3.5 minutes :)

[MonkeyCantFly]

@collieinthekeys ahh, okaay, i hope to enter competions with my collie, i have a few videos on my channel of my agility classes, but she has improved quite a lot from then. Collies are the best though(:

Great video. Loved it.

[WestieAgility]

awe your doing great lol but the judge should have felt really bad i almost hit a judge once and they felt really bad

[SuperCrayolacrayon]

dont ever give up my coach told me that and i ended up being the first jh in alberta done masters but i love your dog she is gorgeus and never give up

[collieinthekeys]

Thank you. I didnt give up - that video was awhile back :) Maggie is starting to double Q now in excellent and I've just started running my baby border collie.

What a funny video! My dog does silly stuff all the time during agility class. Sometimes he completely ignores me and starts sniffing at horse **** on the ground!!!

[chihuahuaagility324]

Awe cute dog.

On my first trial my dog (chihuahua mix) ran back to my family on both runs.

[MisstiqueVic]

Great video!

[collieinthekeys]

Thanks :)

[mavriksbt]

Oh yes, I have known these moments, quite often!

Hey Reminds me of My Rough Tri Boy, i got a video of him on my accoutny when he was younger,

he does well with me in 4-H lol infact we just won 1st agility, today at a fair, But its on-lead, he was crazy like that at our 1st AKC show. and yes he loves to jump over the contacts 8D

Collie Fan whoo~ How old is yours???

P.S. lol at least you dont have yours trying to mark territory all the time, we have to go super fast so he doesnt pee XD

[collieinthekeys]

Thank you. Maggie just had her fourth birthday. Unfortunately, we missed last season's trials because I blew out my knee but she's now one Q away from her Open title so things are improving! Best of luck to you with yours. Enjoy the craziness - it's rare to find that in a rough collie.

Great video. I've been training with my young golden for about 6 months and just uploaded my own "Bad Day" video. Hang in there, they keep telling me it gets better.

[collieinthekeys]

Thanks! Yes, it does get better but it will always be a challenge. Good luck to you and keep your sense of humor.

[ridingtimes]

I just got into agility with my Border Collie. Been to a few trials to watch and learn and even people that have been doing a long time have days like that. Our trainer says ..Just have fun...Wish you the best of luck...

[collieinthekeys]

Your trainer is right.... it IS fun and when things go wrong, you get to make funny videos!

[AdelineKatie]

I am a rookie handler with a rookie dog. We are starting soon after a year of training. Wish us luck! Love the video.

[collieinthekeys]

Best of luck to you. It's all worth it. Just remember to appreciate the humor when things go wrong. Lots more fun that way.

[dognikki2002]

Great video, it brings back memories!

[mightymikaagility]

Tehe! Fun vid, thanks for posting it! I especially liked your use of slow mo for the missed dog walk contact!

[3agilek9s]

Awe...you can tell he has so much fun doing agility. Don't give up as it only gets better! Good luck in the new year. Lisa and The Heathen Crew
