"Working Our Way Back"   PILGRIM GIBBONS

"Until the summer of 2004, Pilgrim was steadily earning titles and loving agility. Then he fell off an aluminum tetter several times in a row and he lost all of his confidence, balking at doing any contact obstacles. We spent a long year patiently working towards doing them again, and he began trialing. Then last summer it happened all over again. And again we have patiently worked our way back from this second setback. Pilgrim is amazing in his willingness to overcome his fear, and he is again having a fun time doing agility" — Diane
