Yesterday I recorded my whole drive out to WonderDogs, where Belle and I take agility classes and Mom and Luka take obedience lessons. When I stopped at Wawa I decided to leave the car running, figuring I'd have some video footage of Belle either not caring I was gone or reeking havoc in my car. [...]
I didn't post for class #5 and we couldn't go to class #6 because Belle was in heat but lemme tell you about class #7. We were a small class this week and one of my instructors was not there. We had an addition to our class this week, a corgi named Max. We started [...]

Belle likes to start class that way. One bag of treats is not enough. I must work with her everyday in order to [...]

The class has mixed levels, meaning some people have taken agility classes before and some have not. I thought Belle might stand out and be the only large dog but she wasn't.
