Exams are done so back to agility training :D

Jemma
She was good today, we worked on her contacts and she was doing them all really nicely and really fast once we had sweeties out so, hopefully she will keep this up at the weekend :) She was also just working really nicely in general and really following my body movements :) Her weaves were really good too, she only got them wrong twice I think all session, even with doing tunnel weave and some long run ups to them :) After the tunnel she was doing the weaves the fastest I have ever seen her do them, it was very nice to watch and made me a very happy mummy :)

Elliot
It was really nice today, at the end Gail got to see him run and I think all four of us in the field (me, lel, Gail and Tasha) were proud to watch him :) His weaves were really good - he is really thinking about what he is doig now, he is a little cautious because he is worried about getting it wrong but for now that is good as it is meaning he is getting them right :) He was even doing tunnel weave without stopping in between and after a few goes was getting it right very consistently :) His contacts were also good, he only ran off the first seesaw which was because i commanded him late, oops!! Towards the end of the lesson he kept wondering off the end of the aframe sniffing stuff but I think this was because it was very muggy and he was tired!! He is creeping down the contacts because he knows he has to be careful and stop but for now that is so much better than him jumping off from a quarter of the way down and me having no control - our job for the winter will be to speed these up :) His jumping is also get much better. So again, all in all a good lesson for him :)

We are doing a demo at uni tomorrow for a puppy reunion they have which should be fun :)

  1. You should be very proud. I was glad I came along and saw how he is coming on....It's a FAR FAR cry from how he looked a few short months ago and he is a credit to your hard work and faith your in your trainer. It's not easy when results are not achieved "overnight" and I am so very pleased for you that you stuck it out and are now reaping the benefits. He is a class act I look forward to your forthcoming acheivements whether its winning a class or getting that smooth "close but no ciger" round that promises great things to come. Watch this space...Mr E is gonna make it BIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
