Charley Wants To Play!

(Wilmington, NC)

Charley is two and a half years old. He has successfully completed Beginning Obedience, K-9 Good Citizen and Beginner Agility classes. In Intermediate Agility, however, the trainer thought it best to remove Charley and give him private lessons because of his habit of "zooming" that is, running around the agility area and making everyone wait until he settled down.

He has so much energy! When he climbs the A-frame, weaves the poles, jumps the hurdles and walks the teeter totter he does very well. He is learning that he gets treats for doing those things well, and no treat at all for "zooming!"

What he likes to do best is fetch his toy...
