Rio was utterly wild at training this week. Since we have a lot of people on holiday at the moment, our final session was very quiet, so I brought Rio and Dylan down to the arena at the same time. Mistake!<\/p>\n
Apparently watching Dylan (or me running Dylan?) is way too exciting for Rio. When it was her turn, she promptly ran like a lunatic, demolished pretty much the whole course and would not. Stop. Barking. She even decided to try to weave the uprights, and despite her moderate success, we put a stop to that as I don’t really need broken weaves. I will start moving her on to the uprights soon though, if she wants to try them!<\/p>\n
I realise now that this is probably why I’ll never be a Champ level handler. I should really care<\/em> that the wild dog demolished the place, instead of finding it sort of hilarious. She was having so much fun though, and she really is a blast to run. Her drive down lines was fantastic, and she was picking up obstacles well. We did get some productive training done!<\/p>\n Dylan worked his socks off, super dogwalk and super weaves, just hope it all holds together for the weekend. JDA are supplying this show, so no scary aluminium dogwalks. I’m interested to see if there really is a difference!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rio was utterly wild at training this week.
