Agility lesson back home

I went back to nottingham for the weekend this weekend and managed to get an agility lesson on sat pm, so here is how it went:


Jemma:
We worked on front crosses which i had completely forgotten how to handle but by the end of it finally remembered and jem did some nice ones :) Also worked on some front and back crosses which went quite well, it was basically just a lesson of handling :) it was two days ago so I cant really remember much ooo but what I do remember is that she had brilliant waits after all the work I did last week in Bristol - I managed to do three jump lead outs consitantly without any twitching - woop woop!!


Elliot:
I did the same jumping course with elliot as I did with Jemma and he did very well - I have to realise I have to help him more with front crosses as he is not as experienced as Jem (a given I know but I always forget!!), he also had a few issues working a straight line and kept checking in with me after each jump but we did some go on work and he was a lot better at the end. We also did some work on the dog walk and he did really well, really driving to the bottom to do his nose touch - at teh start he kept running off the end of the dog walk but the he got the idea he had to keep his feet on it :) We started with just an end plank raised a foot off the ground and then put the whole dog walk down to the baby height (about 3 foot off the floor) and we tried doing the whole dog walk as he does much like being picked up but then he kept running of the end so I did pick him and once he realised it meant we were going to do something fun he was ok about it and then did he good touch work. The only thing I had to then work on was getting him to then drive for his tuggy as he kept just wanting to go back and nose touch for food.
