Running Dogwalk

I have the plank up to 20 inches now. I have Juice working at a few different angles and going over a jump. I am liking what I see right now. I went out to youtube today and saw some great running contacts. It keeps me excited about getting Juice to do them. I was frustrated for a while and started over. I made my own box like Rachel Sanders and the box method for the frame. Initially it was too small so I made it the size of the yellow and gave her room to run instead of collect to fit into the smaller one. I have had her run without it a few times and she is in the zone. To be continued. I am determined to get this.

24 inch weaves

I have been working with poles at 24 inches with the 2x2 method. I have them at 1 & 6 and she looked good. I am just working 6 right now. I moved them even closer together but just shy of a straight line. She looks good from all angles. I have a tunnel now so I will get to do more proofing.

J Dawgs first AKC Agility Trial

We are in the Oct. Trial in JWW, and FAST. I'm excited to get in that enviroment with her. She has only competed once and that was Jumpers and Gamblers in USDAA. She took second in Gamblers both days and that was without any dogwalk, A-Frame, or teeter. In Jumpers we didn't Q but they were good runs both days.

Stay tuned!

I am now officially an agility Nerd

I am having so much fun learning agility. I attended the Lori Michaels and Sturart Mah workshop a few weeks back. I am in a workshop with Annie in Columbia MO. in October with Stacy Peardot-Goudy. I am on a WAIT list with Juice and I hope I can get in. If not I will audit. Yesterday Linda, D, and I went and watched a few hours of agiliy.

I have been working on running contacts with Juice and it has been difficult. I decided to back track and start over. It is taking time but it is coming along and I think I can get this figured out.

A few of us from Bi-State are going to Kentucky to see the Championships.
