Agility update

Things have been a bit hectic, did a training week with Logan ah boy does he have the bug. Every time Kenny was praising or motivating another dog in the group my arm nearly came out of the socket, he broke out of the garden to try and get Kenny to play jumping. Kenny came up with a fab idea of doing the 2x2 entry to continue teaching the angles then into the training weave. While Kenny was talking to me about it, Logan thought he would go and do the channel weave without any help from us, what a dog. So we are now working on bringing in the poles which has been done quite quickly to try and slow him down a bit and teach him to respect the weave. I still have not given it a command other than go, when he finally can weave consistently then I will add the weave command. He still has not the A frame other than play tug on the contact and the dog walk so we have a long way to go but boy am I enjoying training him He is like a wee sponge takes it all in his stride.

Poor monkey I have judged one of the days at the last two shows and not really been very focused on my agility. Had a cracker of an agility run with her and I got lost with 3 jumps to go!! If she could work this computer would have put me on eBay "Failed dog handler free to bad home". She was really cheeky in the ring on Saturday her face was a picture when she hopped of the dog walk headed for the next jump I was in prime position so just ran to her picked her up, her face was a picture. I put her back on the contact thanked the judge and left the ring laughing, continued to laugh all the way back to the van. Over the last year we have progressed so much I can cope with silliness as I know there is a wee star waiting for the right course with her handler in the zone.
