Good Dogs & Bad Mummy

Jemma:
She worked really nicely today, Only thing she did wrong first time we did the course was to come out of the weaves 2 too early and this was completely my fault because I was dithering about the next bit of the course and not trusting her enough to do the weaves with me running. She had really nice contacts, the only thing I think needs more work is her staying on the bottom with me running on as she seems to take the que of me moving to be her release. she also needs work on me crossing behind as she was dithering on the top of the a-frame until i caught up!! We worked on tweaking some of the other parts of the course to make them a bit neater and faster and she finished the lesson with a beautiful fast clear round, I was very proud :)

Elliot:
His jumping style wasn't as good as last week, he jumped most of the jumps tucked up, don't know why though as he was much better at SMART this week, he was as good on the water treadmill as Jem! His contacts were also loads better, we were working on him nose touching the groung rather than the target and he did some really nice ones, finishing on doing the whole a-frame and touching the grass, I was very proud - so this is our plan with him for the next few weeks, to fade out the target and start putting a jump before and after, I also think he will need a lot of work on staying put even if i am moving!! his weaves, well, they were ok i guess but he kept missing out the third one and didnt do that very consistantly but to be fair to him I haven't had time to do any work on them at home since long before christmas so it is not surprising really!!

We are back to flyball tomorrow, am looking forward to, just hope these two manage to control their excitment at being back and actually manage to do some flyball!!
