Welcome Shayna, Tika and Beatty to our agility pack !

We had mention before all the benefits of spending our camp day at FreeSpirit but for those new campers here some resume!

Agility gives the dogs confidence and help them be more sure about themselves when they learn a new obstacle,  jump, climb or run into a tunnel. They are learning to use their body and to overcome their fears.

This activity always help us to bond with our campers and develop a relationship based on trust. It is nice to see how they look at us like they were saying : “are you really sure i am going  up and down in that stuff ? “ And yes, we do it together!! Each dog is different so we take our time to make them feel comfortable and to success with exercise.

It is amazing to observe  how all the dogs improve their skills each time that we do agility and they seem to think is super fun!!

It is an experience that we share and enjoy and added bonus is that it makes their obedience training better and they Love It!!

And on top of all that we also have the whole fence land that allow them to run and enjoy playing with their fellow campers while their Spirit is Free!!

Wow! We had such a fantastic CGC practice and we are so proud of our campers !

We were looking for every opportunity to test our dogs during their practice: land mowers, gardeners, bicycles, a group of tourists from asia, police men, stroller, handicaps, ambulance, people doing exercise  and even an intense but small storm! Nothing stop us, we were rolling and enjoying our camp day. Our goal is to for make the obedience training fun for the dogs and for the handlers and always challenging for both parts and sure we did it !!

We want to thanks Erick Torres who was our Friendly Stranger and Groomer during our CGC trial. We couldn’t have better help as Erick has been a professional groomer and dog trainer for many years so it was easy for him to understand the dynamic and act according to the role he was doing during the whole camp. Thank you Erick!

Did you recognize who was your dog only by  his/her gaze ?
