New class New instructor

Tonight I took Toby to his new class. Much to my surprise the class was with dogs that have never done agility. The instructor was very surprised also. She told me that Toby was nothing like what the other instructor had described. She thought that Toby was a dog with no skills in agility and totally out of control. She was looking for a wild Sheltie. Anyway I spent most of the night working on obedience and toy drive while the rest of the class learned how to get their dog excited with the crate. We work on some of the crate games also. However, Toby and I have already have been playing the crate games so we were one step ahead. They also worked on coming to the hand or side. We worked both sides for a while then went back to toy drive. The last thing they worked on was how to jump. We worked on that a few times and then went back to obedience. I am going to stick this class out. For one I have already paid for it and it was not cheap. Toby can always use foundation work. I just hope he doesn't get too board with this. I was told by the owner after class that I will be moved to a more advance level after we work on focus work. So I guess it is not all that bad. I just think that the first instructor just did not want to take the time to help us. Plus her attitude towards us was not all that great. The instructor I have tonight is wonderful and she has me all excited about doing agility with Toby. She says that there is nothing we can't fix. Keep your fingers crossed.
