Tedsmum will become famous soon enough
Teds first agility

I took Ted for his first agility session today. We have done a couple of little jumps etc in the garden but nothing serious.
The trainer put planks on the floor etc and expected to have to nurse us through but it turns out he is a natural!
He was half way up the 7 foot A frame before we could stop him.
He seems to really like it and is much more enthusiastic about it than I thought he would be.
We ended up having done something on nearly all the equipment, including jumping through a tyre.
I hope to get some photos of him in a couple of weeks when I let my OH come and watch. I don't want him distracted by him being there quite yet.
I knew he must be good at something.

Great to hear this,.. in a perfect world all dogs should have sort of `job`, and agility is the same thing, it occupies the mind

That's great for Ted and for you, he's obviously just taken to it Some photos / vid would be great, Gill.

Zee will be good at agility. There was a horse + hound show in our village; they'd set up horse jumps in a field we usually walk through. Zee spotted them, ran up and jumped over all of them - no instruction from me!

I just need to point to a fence or hay bale and say Hup! and both dogs are over or on it. Annoyingly there's a 7ft wooden 'A' frame in the village playground, with a No Dogs sign. Why put agility equipment in a kids' playground then?!
