Another really good one :)

Elliot:
Lots of contact work for my little man - we started with the table with the see-saw plank leaning up against it, to build up his drive and target work. He really improved on this and was doing really well and we manged to greatly reduce the number of times he played "tiddly winks" with the disc, little toad. We then went on to the dog walk and back trained this until we did a couple of full dog walks with me geeing him up before hand and he had real drive to the target at the end and was actually touching it and not just running on. I shall do some work on this at the competition at the weekend in the practise ring to try and keep his focus. We also did a little bit of seesaw but he kept jumping of the side at the bottom so we shall work on this more next week. His weaves - wow!! - we did three lots of four inches (me releasing and pen rewarding) and then put them down to three inches and did the same thing and he got it right first time little smarty pants. We then did some with me recalling him and he was good until we did it with me on the left from the fifth weave. We shall be working more on his three inch weaves next week. We finisehd on some back cross work with four jumps and eventually we got there bless him, part of the problem was me trying to get to where i thought was the right position but because he is a speedy little demon I was turning WAY to late so he was running round the jump, once I sorted myself out he did very well. I have a feeling I will need my running shoes on when we get to competition!!!

Jemma:
More weave work for my little girl and she did super duper bless her. The only times she got it wrong was when she offered the weaves when I wanted her to do something else bless her. We did the weaves with a couple of jumps before hand and then put them in a course (twice!!). I am really excited about the competition at the weekend and just hope that I can remmeber exactly what I did today and do the same thing in the hope of enabling jem to get it right bless her. We also did some flick flack work which she was really good at when doing them on my left but not so good when doing them on my right, I really need to work on her focus on the right as for some reason it is REALLY bad comapred to on the left!! Think that was it for Jem as we did lots on the weaves and she got really tired bless her.
