This morning the "Advanced Agility" class took a field trip to go and watch an agility trial. It was nice to take them to see what we're working towards, how it should look, and how proficient the class has become.
The class got to see how a trial runs, the various volunteer jobs, what happens, what to think about as an exhibitor and how we spend all this time, energy, and money for less than a minute at a time in the ring.
We saw some people we know and a few people who have been my instructors or classmates in the past. It wasn't as busy as I expected, there must have been an AKC trial within a reasonable distance to draw some people away?
I want to trial with my dogs! Griffin went to visit and he wasn't wanting to eat but he was very attentive and working well outside.
The field trip is definitely something we should do more of in the future for several of our classes and to help students set goals and visualize what they're working towards.
