Teeter

The teeter lives in the living room right now. I have had it in the house for about 10 days because of all of the snow. I am doing a lot of piece work with it and it is so fun for both girls. Juice has been able to learn that a nose touch on the ground (dirt) can be done on wood and carpeting. I need to go out and buy a small piece of artificial turf so it translates to that also. I don't know that I will have her do a nose touch but I might. I started 1RTO with just a 5 foot by 1 foot piece of wood on the floor about a month ago. Now she is doing 1RTO on the actual teeter end. I haven't put all of the parts of the teeter together yet. I am still doing the bang game, BAM (nose touch), food coming from underneath the teeter, and the 2 table method. I wonder what it will look like one day. I haven't worked her on the A Frame with the box method since I decided not to teach flyball at Westin anymore. I will meet with Deb Frank for some private lessons and will practice the dogwalk and AFrame by back training.

What an absolute agility NERD I have become. So fun............later

No more Plank and running contact work

I have decided to give up on this. I have worked at home since March of last year on learning running contacts. I have read and talked with numerous people about this. Some sessions were really good and others were not. After attending the New Year's Agility Trial and watching Stacy and Lori's dogs miss the running contacts numerous times I decided to stop. They have been training for much longer than I have and are having trouble. I am now training the 1RTO. Juice now has a nose touch at the end of the teeter and that may translate to the dog walk if I need it.
