krissy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ha! Actually, he's doing pretty well, I have to say. I'm giving Summit a break from agility classes to save a bit of money. Besides, he's not getting any younger, so we're trying some fun stuff that's a little easier on the joints. We're trying our hand (paw?) at heelwork (doggy dancing). First up... learning leg weaves. Not too shabby for a dog that is almost 30 inches tall and can barely fit under my inseam. Love how happy and excited he is about this. If anyone needed any motivation to try some fun training with their greyhound... look at that tail and that bounce in his step. Don't let him fool you... he's no pup. This boy will be 9 in May. He definitely started out like he had 2 left feet, but he's pulling it together now. This is after just a few short sessions (earlier sessions are on my blog if you are interested). Enjoy! I know Summit sure did! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWzw1Hv9F2U&feature=c4-overview&list=UUv4UPHwt2tthOhojMb-jtXg Quote Kristie and the Apex Agility Greyhounds: Kili (ATChC AgMCh Lakilanni Where Eagles Fly RN IP MSCDC MTRDC ExS Bronze ExJ Bronze ) and Kenna (Lakilanni Kiss The Sky RN MADC MJDC AGDC AGEx AGExJ).

Sambuca Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 That's great. When I tried freestyle with my guys, they looked at me when I was nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneGTS Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Great to see that Summmit has so much fun! Great job! I'm currently taking "fun classes" with Spriet (11 years old) where we learn the same stuff (weave, turn, spin). Now I finally get to see another Greyhound do the same things! Yesterday I posted a video of Spriet doing some other tricks. Here's a short video of her doing weaves (although she doesn't quite understand it yet).

krissy Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 She is small (26") and I am tall (6'2"). WHAT!? Give me a couple inches! Stop hoarding all the height! Summit is almost 30 inches at the shoulder and I'm only 5'3. Tricky combination.
