Getting Good

I have remembered to update after a lesson, first time in a while!!!! :)

Jemma
We worked on reminding her what her contacts are after her appaling agility round on sunday - she proved that she did know all along really!! We spent a long time working on a wing wrap because despite doing some lovely ones at the weekend she was being a bit dense tonight!! And the thing we worked most on was WEAVES!!! Mainly on me not being an idiot and she only got them wrong twice all night, once when I front crossed before them and tripped her up and the other time when I back crossed by doing a crazy 90 degree angle thing, rather than 45 degress, so yup, yet again me messing them up!! I then worked on running along side her as she does them to encourage her she is doing them right and start getting me doing it right too and worked well :) It will be interesting to see if I manage to do this first time in thursdays lesson!!

Lels comment for the night which sums up the lesson nicely I think "I hate to tell you this but your dog is getting rather good"!! First time round the course and he flew round, got all the contacts very nicely and got the weaves first time :) We worked a bit on his jumping, but mainly on his contacts and weaves, we worked on some really tricky weave angles with 8 weaves and with me crossing behind, something I have not yet been confident to do and he only missed them when I wasn't firm enough with my command and consequently he didn't brake hard enough (yup, me yet again!!) but all in all weaves in courses are coming on much much better, it is very exciting!!!!
