Date: 2008-04-13 01:03 pm (UTC)I don't believe in any competitive "sport" that involves animals - the minute humans get involved it turns ugly. Kato's agility class was certainly just for fun and was never going to see us in our crimpolenes in the ring at Crufts (spit!). Only dogs who enjoyed it took part and there was no pressure to get it right. Going into a down stay in the tunnel didn't bring shame or jeers.
I often watch the doglets race each other round the garden, how they stop and run back to let the older or slower ones catch up. We could learn so much. Its the running "with" they enjoy not the running against.
