    Greyhounds can do agility, too!

    I am so proud of Gissie! No offense to her, but I always thought she wasn't the brightest bulb in the bunch. Thank DoG she's proven me wrong! In TWO days, we went from full channel weaves to this:




    And she's really nailing them!




    Whoo!!! Who said greyhounds are couch potatoes?

    What a good girl Giselle!! I knew you were smarter than you were letting on. You were just waiting for the right moment to shine, weren't you?
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Lookin' good Giselle!! I'm in the same boat.. I seriously questioned Keeva's ability to retain well, any information. LOL She just started agility a month ago and is kicking butt!!

    Way to go Giselle! You not only did the weave and the jump, but still managed to look elegant while doing so!

    I had to think that Giselle was *built* to do agility. How cool she looks doing the weave. It will be fun to see how she progresses as she was obviously built for speed. Good girl, Giselle.

    With those beautiful l-o-n-g legs, she probably just flows thru the poles!

    Thanks guys!

    Ehhh, greyhounds have long legs, but they're too aerodynamic to handle the tight turns and stuff. But what they lack in agility structure they make up in pure brute effort I'll admit I never knew Giselle had this in her, and I'm very excited to start bringing her to class! Expect more progress!
