Heh, that’s a great comparison! Shelly looks like she’s having LOADS more fun though. I’ll bet she could probably beat a horse at barrels if she really wanted to, or more accurately, if YOU wanted her to. Shesagoodgirl!

Shelley is a little bit anxious in agility -- she's always happier when we're done with the course. You can see how she's looking at me, "Is this right?" It does slow her times down.

It's because she was my first agility dog, and I "hovered" too much . . . instead of letting her go all out and correct the mistakes after we got the speed. But it's all relative -- she does have both her Excellent titles, most dogs never make it past Novice let alone Open. She'll just never make Master Agility Champion because her times are too slow.

So now we're working on Hunting Retriever which she enjoys very much, 'cause we didn't start doing that til she was three!
