I train all mine with the plastic bag or fur lure on the end of a lunge whip from the day they arrive at my place. After a few weeks of solo training, I add one of my older dogs so they get used to chasing with another dog. Most trials are going to be a significant distance away for you. You might contact some of the coursing clubs and get on their various yahoo groups etc to see if anyone is traveling from your area that could provide transportation to some of the practice runs. I would recommend looking atl locations for LGRA/straight track racing in canada as that is a good way to learn follow and focus before starting to course.

I'm impressed! Rally and Rio are so obedient and paying attention. You're doing a great job with them, Lisa. Thanks for sharing these vids.

Ah! The power of food! All I can say is Kudos to you! I can barely get Rocky to remember I'm attached to the leash let alone commands off line. Kudos!

That's really great! I really want to do that with Jack- I think he would have so much fun! He already uses the living room as an agility course- lol!

Agility is so much fun. My dogs really enjoy it.

I also plan on doing agility with Dallas
They look like they are having a great time! When do the competitions start for them? -
I have been a bit of chicken about entering a competition. I think I am going to give one a try either this May or June. I am going to start in CPE because their level 1 should be a good place for me the novice handler and Rio my novice dog.
