Good Dogs

Back to agility training with Lesley this week :)

Jemma:
We did a grade 3/4 course and we did pretty well - knocked a few poles first time but then worked on a tricky bit involving a snake and weaves and then we did the course again and she did it all really well until the weaves where she just mistimed it slightly. She has turned into a contact menace - she goes over them at every chance she gets, little tinker!! They still need a little bit of work as she doesn't always stop when her two feet are off but just before the end and she still isn't going as fast as i would like!!

Elliot:
We discussed contacts and have decided to continue to target train them but I am going to use a piece of perspex instead of the lids so it is more see through and so hopefull i can phase it out more easily and get him just touching the grass - we took the target away at one point and he did try sort of touching the floor already so we shall be working on this more and really doing some proper back training and not push him to go over the whole thing too soon!! We also did some weaves - he did four very nicely and then we did six and he did these as well, only wrong a couple of times until we started trying to do it with me moving - we got there though with me just walking but with lesley stood at the end so he still had someone to focus on - this is something else for us to work on, me moving whilst he is doing them :)
