The plank and weaves

I was able to get outside this weekend and work the plank again. It has been a couple or few weeks since we worked them. Saturday was a really good day. I like what I saw. They are challenging though. I only have the plank at 10 inches now. I am going to attend a Daisy Peel workshop soon. I am excited.

I worked Juice with 6 weaves and had a jump 5 feet from the weaves. The first time she didn't know how to slow herself down and ran right by them. The second time she goy in the entrance and almost lost it but was able to catch herself and stay in. I was impressed by it. Next week we go to Kansas for another Stacey Goudy seminar. I'm looking forward to it. Juice and Annie are entered in the USDAA trial in Glen Carbon and my only desire is to relax, enjoy the girsl, and have fun. If there is a Q it is icing and if not, maybe next time. What's the hurray.

Lateral and Front Sends

It is freezing here in St. Louis but I had to get outside and do some lateral and front sends with Juice and Annie. I also worked weave entries. I had J go over 3 jumps with speed and hit her entry. I had the 3rd jump 20 feet away initially and gradually moved it to 5 feet. She did well.

Workshop in Tennessee

I had a good time in Oakland learning more from Stacy. I audited one day of Excellent and Masters and then worked the other day with Juice. The first time we got out to run a course it was a train wreck. I was way late on my cues and Juice was all over the place. With the help of Stacy I was able to eventually make a good run. JDawg is good. I am learning how to become good myself. I see how much potential this dog has and it excites me.

I am realizing there is no need to rush. We will get there when we get there. I have entered the USDAA trial at the end of the year in Jumper's and Gambler's. If I don't think we can run the course well then I will focus on a section of it to try to do well. When we are successful I will run off the course and play tug.
