AGILITY HISTORY

Agility Husband turned handler.

 2000-present

Began playing in 2000 when my wife, Isabelle brought dog #2 home. It was time for me to move from spectator to handler - Scout quickly tried to teach me all I needed to know about patience, trust and communication. Good thing I only retained about 20% of what I learned! It is way too much fun learning it all over and over again. After years of faithful competition and enthusiasm for the sport, Scout has decided to continue competing half time, allowing her time to pursue other interests including carrying around socks and shoes, opening and closing and opening and closing and opening and closing doors throughout the house, teaching the puppies bad habits and curling up on the couch. With all my spare time, I now get to repair worn out doors and train my new guy, Pepsi! It is kind of like driving a Scooter your entire life and then hopping into a Lamborghini for a spin. I am having a blast, and I have learned to appreciate the honest enthusiasm Scout still has.
