Sept 29th - at home

Well we were back to working 2x2 weaves again today. I moved the 2 bases to be about 6' apart, both staked in the ground. I used white milkbone cookies for treats for both boys.

Ripley
I added movement today to see where we were at. Ripley actually did awesome with me running either up to the entry area and also away from the entry. He had very limited mistakes today and did some really hard entries with speed. He did not have a favoring side tonight, so that is awesome. He was equal on both onside and offside entries.

Baxter
I also added movement to B's training today. I ping ponged back and forth of whether to move or stay stationary. He actually did quite well with the movement, not flanking the poles at all today. On his final session I moved from onside to offside and back again. When I did that he had a harder time going to the offside entry as he didn't go around and wrap back. I went to my "happy place" and let him figure it out. At least he didn't do a impaling type leap through them...that's an improvement :) In between Baxter worked on control with his bed.

You can see how the dogs are really digging in and wrapping around that first pole when you look at my poor grass. I am pretty sure the next time Rick goes out to cut the grass he will not be impressed at the ruts along the middle of our back yard :)
