Thanks everyone.

I realized how far I have come last night when I took Justice to class. There is a UKC agility trial coming up and I wanted to enter Justice because UKC has really long course times and as Justice is a veteran, he only has to jump 8"! Since Justice has his UACH, he would be in Agility 3 and I have never done that. weaves have a 6 ft box around it, pause box too and it is on the floor, alots of weird things.

Anyway, the course, setup was AKC Open, I tried a rear cross and Justice went what? Oops thats right I never did rear cross with Justice because I sucked at them. Couple other times too that with the girls I take for granted and Justice doesn't really know. Wow. My first agility dog and now I see the holes.

UKC was a great venue for him though as it is much more control based and good for a newbie to get their feet wet. I am debating put Ember in too because it is suited for her style and she could jump 8". Ember is 3 weeks shy of being a veteran too and then she would jump 4"(is that even a jump?). Diva nope I don't think so. She would jump 8" and I don't think it would suit her and she would likely kill herself on the swing bridge and plank because she would be going MACH3.

we train in UKC based facility. I don't think it fits Leo all that great either. He thinks that swing meant "jump over it without touching with a paw" and Bridge is meant "bounce bounce bounce see how high I can bounce"
