Dog Agility Training
I saw a program on TV that showed a dog agility competition. It looked like a lot of fun for both the handlers and the dogs, so I thought, why not try it with Casey, my Jack Russell Terrier? I’ve been told this breed does well at this type of competition. Jack Russells have so [...]
