The training day was with Natasha Wise and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We trained some tight turns, which in theory I seem to understand now, not sure the practice will get any better. Then we did contacts and weaves. It was quite interesting to get her idea how to make Max's contacts more reliable and faster, as he sometimes creeps down the dog walk or even waits just before the contact zone. So I think some contact work needs to be done. It was amazing to see how he speeds up in the weaves, when somebody was holding a tuggy toy for him. Couldn't believe his speed. So now need to find somebody at training to motivate him with a toy, while I run next to him.
All good fun anyway.
Next weekend we had planned to go to the Agility Addicts show, which I had entered weeks and weeks ago. Unfortunately, though entered really early, we didn't get in. Next time I better enter before the schedule comes out ;-)
So next weekend needs reconsidering...
At the moment I have little Hugo here.... (I know, excuse the name) he is 5 month old, black and white collie and looking for a new home.
He was a bit big for his boots when he arrived, but now learnt that he is not the king of the castle... Let's hope I can find him a lovely new home with lots of exciting stuff going one. He is still very puppyish for being 5 month old. He enjoys to go out with my lot. A typical curious and cheeky puppy :)
