Queen of the mountain

We went to an open agility practice time run by a local vet clinic today.  Gemma is very young to start training on the apparatuses but I wanted to see how she would react to the equipment.  The first time through, G didn't know what to do with the big A frame ramp, but after watching other dogs run up and over it, she roared right on over!  Then she went back up and wanted to stay at the peak, nearly my head height.  She has been playing queen of the mountain on the stairs at home as well.  She is still a bit tentative coming down.
The same technique of watch and learn was what finally turned the trick to learn "down" months ago - watching a friends dog do "down" a few times, and Gemma had it!
