2 by 2 method

I love this method. Juice is a fiend on the weave poles. I have her take a couple of jumps at different angles then weave and finish off with another jump and then we tug.

Orientation @ Woof

JDawg was demo dog for agility and flyball. She ran 4 heats and did not have a stride regulator on the floor. In flyball class that morning she did run backs with a regulator and took 3 really nice steps. I have not done recalls with her for a very long time because she wouldn't take 3 strides. We are workin' it. Now she is doing wind sprints when I take her for a bike ride. I'm excited about Amana next week end to see how she does.

12 weave poles

It has been awhile since I have been able to have Juice work the poles with all the rain and my obsession with the 3 strides in flyball. Last night she worked them head on with some speed and had the single stride. It was impressive. I have never had a dog that could do that. I stood at the end of them and had her weave to me. I stood at the beginning and had her weave away from me and last I ran past her while she was weaving. She did well with all of them. It seemed like she had some trouble coming out of them if I started running before her. We will work that one more. She is going to be good when she is up and running. We have a lot more to do to get ready. I am shooting for the December trial.
