Well, we have been trialing and it has rained for the past 3 weeks such that we could not go out in the yard and practice. Tonight after work was the first time I could work with the dogs in the yard. I setup a series of jumps around the obstacles and worked with Canon on them. We have been working on weave entries a lot because I could work that pretty quickly and she has missed some lately. I have my channels open about 3 inches cause I am repeating her entrances and I want to encourage her to go fast and not cause any injuries. I only have her doing 6 weaves. I will add the other 6 next week when we are preparing for the trial. She is doing a fabulous job with it. She also did an excellent job holding her AFrame contact and her DW contact. I did some sprints through some jumps spread out around the yard and want to do that each day to keep her in shape. I think the Happy Dog trial wore her out with all the runs. She was fatigued by Sun. Good day practicing.
Skills practiced and rating: (1-10, with 10 best)
AFrame - 10
AFrame tunnel discrimination 10
weave entries 10
Start line 7 she left once and I had to put her back
turns and wraps 7 she missed a few turns coming out of the tunnels. I have a 9 ft tunnel under the aframe and she shoots out of it and takes the next jump. I worked getting her to check with me. some success, but we need to work this skill.
