Just a quick update on Dylan’s blog. It’s been an immensely stressful and exhausting beginning to the month, and all the dogs have had to take a back seat. However, Dylan and I managed to find a half hour to do some training in today, and we had a lovely session.<\/p>\n
I didn’t have any particular goals, just proofing what we already know. Started off with some cavaletti spaced 4ft\/6ft, then 4ft\/8ft, and then 6ft\/4ft, and finally 6ft\/2ft, with the final jump being double the hieght. Makes him think about his paws and his jumping technique!<\/p>\n
Spent the rest of the time doing jump\/tunnel\/jump combinations, with a few left\/right tunnel entrances thrown in. I’m really pleased with how responsive Dylan is – he will happily run on to a tunnel with me hanging far back, but equally he isn’t completely tunnel obsessed and will pull off the obstacle if I ask him to (although I don’t do that very often, I do want to encourage him to work on ahead still). Kim isn’t a big tunnel fan and I always have to run right up to tunnels with her, so it’s nice to have a dog who doesn’t mind so much.<\/p>\n
I’m still hoping to steal<\/strike> borrow K’s weaves over the Christmas holidays and get those weaves completely proofed and solid before January. Hopefully we’ll find a spare minute to nip over to Wakefield and try that see-saw a couple more times before the competition too, although I am feeling a bit more confident about that now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
