I am determined to keep a record of how Rio does each week at training until she’s 12months at least, but I can’t honestly think of much to say about this week. She was very well behaved, very very tuggy focused, and generally a superstar. We did some tunnel sends and some kips at 8″. She understands the wing wrap concept, so I think I need to add some more distance and probably start increasing the height a little bit now.<\/p>\n
Most of the class worked on the V-Weaves but I elected not to with Ri. I think wide-open channel weaves are fine for her at this age, but V-Weaves require a more immediate action. After the epic task that was teaching Kim to weave, I feel like I can train weaves now, so if we don’t start until she’s 14 months that’s fine! I’ll take the same approach I did with Dylan as I love<\/em> Dyl’s weaves, but a little more spaced out. Dylan ended up learning over the space of a month – 6 weeks, after doing little bits beforehand, and then a few more months building up complexity.<\/p>\n Speaking of, Dyl and I did some productive weave work this week! I tried some fairly drastic rear crosses which he did beautifully, and we layered in the seesaw a few times. I don’t get the same level of confidence from him at competitions, but that is less to do with the weaves and more to do with Dylan being Dyl.<\/p>\n Wigton at the weekend, I’m looking forward to this competition. I would really like Dylan to qualify for the First Contact Final, and I really want Kim’s last G7 win. We’ll need a little bit of luck for both of those, but the dogs are capable and if I’m in the right frame of mind, I am too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am determined to keep a record of how Rio does each week at training until she’s 12months at least, but I can’t honestly think of much to say about this week.
