a panoramic view of the crowd watching a demo
Some dogs get to try the agility equipment for the first time
This is the A frame, set nice and low, so the dogs can easily learn how to do it.
some dogs just do it well right from the start!
and some dogs need more help
here a dog learns the tunnel
another new dog on the lowered A Frame
and nicely touching the yellow "contact" zone.
even the big dogs need to start slow
and that way they are successful
and they have fun, which is the whole point
a little help getting through the tunnel
learning the beginning "dog walk"
a puppy goes over the A Fram
