I think Hoopers will be a little easier on Wanda's joints than agility, and there seems to be little point in being on a waiting list for agility at our present training centre anyway. Hopefully by taking part in one of the first Hoopers workshops we will be further up the waiting list if Hoopers becomes a regular class. I'll try to get some pictures if I can!

BaronessBL Jul 2019 4:57pm, 6 Jul 2019 7,729 posts	0 BaronessBL Wanda enjoyed it and for the first hour was pretty focussed and enthusiastic. But it was a two hour workshop and she is not used to working/concentrating for that long and soon afterwards was doing what she was asked because there was a treat, but not very enthusiastically. Then another dog came bounding up to her and took her a bit by surprise and she got very defensive. She was shattered at the end of it, but not so shattered that when we got home and she saw another fledgling in the garden she chased it (for some reason instead of flying upwards to safety it did circuits of the garden at about a foot off the ground) until she managed to catch it. If we had stopped the hoopers class after 90 minutes and just come home without incident it would have felt a more successful day!

She was here for the afternoon yesterday and destroyed one of Mr Woo's hearing aids. She found them on his bedside table and although I stopped her swallowing it, it is now in 4 pieces He was seriously unimpressed. There was swearing. I did let the words 'well if you'd been wearing them like you should ....' slip out of my mouth which helped a lot!
