Oct 28th - the barn and SDC

I had such a great day with B today! I had only 3 students for the competitive class so I decided to run B in the class. I found some good courses to work on from a Clean Run magazine that I thought the group would like. We had a great time talking about different ways to handle them which was fun. B ran awesome keeping most of the bars up (only taking them down when I got in his way for crosses) and nailing every single weave entry! and this was all at major speed. I am sooo happy with him. I talked with Tracy Sklenar today about his weaves and I feel that he is definitely doing what she thinks I should be doing :) He also maintained his sit-stays and this was with other dogs playing so he was pretty charged up.

Here is a copy of what we did tonight. I did a mixture of front and rear crosses.

Prior to the class I brought Rip into the arena. He did some weaves which were good and I also worked on his jumping. I think his main issue is me running when he is jumping. I am not sure what is exactly happening but I am guessing that he is looking at me when I am running or else he just flattens. I am hoping that Arlene will help me with this tomorrow or else when I head to Ottawa and see if Tiff can see what is going on.

After agility I headed to SDC to do a bit of flyball with B and Abs. After speaking with a few people I have decided that it will do him good to get to play. He completely loves it and I could see in his face that he was having a blast. I can't believe how he hasn't done it for so many months and was a super pro at it. He is now laying beside me sleeping away like a happy healthy dog.

Till tomorrow...
