Thursday morning 2/4

Thursday mornings Suds & Josie have a private lesson with Jacque, yesterday morning Myth came along as she needs to work on self-control in her crate while I work another dog. Well, it didn’t quite work out as planned, as we were unloading to go in, little miss Myth jumped back in the van (um, yeah, she likes to go for rides) as I was sliding the door closed, yikes, caught left leg, ugggh, BIG drama. After letting her walk it off a bit, she seemed fine. She was very subdued while I worked Suds and Josie, not sure if it ended up being good or bad…gonna have to take her again next week….On another note, Suds was fabulous, he is running faster and he nailed the weaves both times and with speed. His nemesis seems to be the triple, he is miss judging his take off point, seems to think he needs to take off at the edge of the standard….will send a post out to the Lhasa training group for suggestions.….Josie was pretty good, but still slow on her weaves. We worked the weave separate, by breaking the set of 12 in to two sets of six, worked her on one set of six a couple of times then had her do the sets consecutively (set of six space of about 10’ and another set of six) she did get faster, but still not to where we would like ‘em.
Something to work on I guess ;-)
