Turbo Puppy

Myth had her first Turbo puppy class this past Wednesday. She has started her in all the basics, she had puppy kindergarten, Power puppy agility class, I have been shaping behaviors since she was weeks old, so she is waaaay ahead of where Josie was at this age. Anyway, Turbo puppy is a class Jacque is teaching at On The Run Canine Center www.ontheruncaninecenter.com for people who have trained a dog for agility previously. Lot of familiar faces in our Turbo puppy class….first night was basic stations; lots of wobble boards, the table, tire, jump standards and short contact board. Myth had great fun on everything, our ultimate goal will be an automatic down on the table, but currently she thinks it is fun just to be upon things, she also likes to crawl onto my shoulders…little mountain dog that she is. Ended the class with some restrained recalls to each side – very fun for the puppies. Myth’s attention during class was was really good, worked with me 99% of the time, there were several other classes going on at the same time, so lots of distractions.

Josie’s master class followed Myth’s class. We are working on our starts, lately her speed has been very slow until about the 3rd obstacle. I worked on getting her excited yet maintaining her start line stay….work in progress. Her overall speed was really good – A-frame was awesome, Jacques said she had some serious air over the apex.

Very good evening for the girls…..
