PowerBall Digs Agility

At the 2008 Premier Weekend, PowerBall earned his Agility 1 and Agility 2 titles in UKC in rapid time!  PB is the flying agility AmStaff and he absolutely LOVES to play!

 

Power began training with Sandra Katzen at Vortex agility Training Center at the age of 14 months old in November of 2006.  He spent the first year just learning the basics and after that, we began putting things together and adding weave poles. 

I HATE WEAVE POLES! 

We used a technique developed by a trainer whose name I will find out and I will post a link to her great article.  PowerBall learned the weaves in 6 weeks!  (He also broke 6 guide wires and six poles in the process!)  Anything for a tennis ball!

 

 PowerBall trained for 19 months before our first trial.  All our ground work paid off as we secured our titles in style with 3 firsts places in our division and a third!  We even earned a high in trial A dog award from the Trail Creek Dog Training Club!  Thanks guys for an awesome first trial!!  Our only NQ resulted in the funky UKC equipment like the swing plank gone broad jump and the dreaded sit jump sit!

Of course PowerBall thinks tunnels are the bomb!  He KNOWS there is a ball at the end!

Flying PowerBall thinks the contact obstacles are the bomb too!  He just KNOWS there is a ball at the end!

Of course there is always the posibility that there is a contact plate at the end of the dog walk with crack biscuit on it!

          

Then again, running is just a joy!
