WOW thats really awesome Sharon! I have never trained agility outside of for environmental and scenario work. I would enjoy it though for sure. I love all the sports. Anything where dogs are working and showing what they are capable of doing. I have done quite a bit of weight pull training and have developed what I feel are some very helpful techniques/tools for that area. OB is really my main focus because the dog never peaks out if worked with the right way. So its always so much fun and so rewarding to bring them to a high level of OB. My wife is a really good trainer and women seem to be able to motivate a dog ( the dogs REALLY want to work for her).

In PP the hardest thing is finding a knowledgable helper. I will be working with the SPD this spring "borrowing" their helper lol. I am not a terrible long ways from some really good ones it's just a full weekend outing to have the opportunity to work with them. I also plan on spending some time with Norman this coming year as well and learning from him. He has a lot of knowledge regarding reading drives and problem solving in bite work amongst other good stuff lol. It's not easy finding someone to fight a 140# heavy mouthed hard hitting dog lol.
