Left & Right Turns

I asked Stephanie (Clicker Teacher) what to do with Juice once she could turn left and right. Stephanie told me to have her turn right and left when Juice was at my side. So I initially had her in heel position and asked for a left and a right and she gave them to me. I thought man this is cool so we attempted the other side. This was a trip every time I said left she turned right. I became a lumper. She kept turning right when I said left. The next day I tried it again and the very same thing happened. I couldn't figure it out. I decided to tell her to turn right because that is what she kept doing. I rewarded her and tried left again. She turned half way to the right and immediately fixed it to the left. Big time motherload and we were done. It is amazing how a change in the picture can make such a difference.

Agility Weekend

Congratulations to Annie, Klepto, and Baby Cherish on an awesome weekend of agility. Annie and I worked together as a team on 3 out of 4 runs. We took 1st in Novice B Jumpers and moved up to Open. We also took 1st in Standard Open. It felt really good. It felt especially good to have Angie and Klepto as competition. Angie and Klepto had some nice runs where they were working as a team. I have seen improvement in their teamwork and they are getting better. When they get their groove on WATCH OUT! Angie did some really nice runs with Baby Cherish and pulled off a beautiful 1st Place.
On another note, Cathy got all the attention this weekend from most everyone at the trial. I guess you have to get hurt to get people to pay attention to you. :) A big thanks to Denise and Chris for coming to support us. I had a wonderful time with everyone of my BFF's in no particular order.......................
