Well done, Cinnamon!

To those who gave me advice on how to control Cinnamon when doing agility training, thank you very much for all your support and encouragement!! At her agility class yesterday, she performed very well. She looked like a different dog!

Yesterday I didn't feed her before going to the class. We did some obedience exercises before the class started. I used sausages as reward and entertained her with her favorite toy to keep her focused on me.

Being a beginner handler, I couldn't guide her around obstacles as well as I wanted. But, despite my poor handling, she did very well even with the tyre, which she had never succeeded to jump through at first attempt!! I was over the moon to see Cinnamon back on the right track.



Two months ago, when Cinnamon suddenly became ill and was hospitalised, I didn't think we would be doing this now. What else can I call it but a miracle?

    Great work Cinnamon. You may add us to your blog list. I add you to mine that I can follow your bath in agility. I try to give some advice if I can.

    Thanks for your comment. Please come back sometimes to see how Cinnamon is doing. She is a real cutie. I don't remember how many times I have been asked who I got her from and the breeder's telephone number!

    Hello again Cinnamon and COokie,

    My human found this video on YouTube and she thought your human might enjoy watching it. It shows a little Beagle doing "doggie dancing" at Crufts - which is an amazing achievement because Beagles are so much harder to motivate and train, especially in this kind of advanced dog sport and to make it to the world's most famous dog show is a big honour!!
