Coming on nicely

Agility moved from Thursday to Tuesday this week so M bundled me in car and off we went...

When we got to A's she said the field was really boggy from all the rain (pesky stuff) but the cows were in the field so we could use the sheds instead - no big jumps though cause of the concrete floor!

A has something called a channel weave which is too sets of 6 weaves which you can stand side by side and move closer together until you have a straight 12 pole weave. She said we would start on this. We all took it in turns there was me, tag, bonnie, meg and bob, apart from the fact I scared Meg we all did really well.

A made sure the weaves were quite tight but not straight cause none of us are beginners any more and once we'd got the hang of going through the weaves she added in a jump at the beginning and a tunnel at the end.

We then moved on to starting with a jump on the opposite side of the weave entry and coming back up the weave from the tunnel just to make it a bit trickier!

It was starting to get dark so we moved into a shed with lights to try directed contacts. We got the pack leaders to put the see-saw and the A-frame side by side and then they had to direct us to the correct contact from a couple of metres away. This was hilarious cause to be honest we all like going over the a-frame but not so much the see-saw (cause it moves around)

Then it was time to look at jumps and the dog walk, the pack leaders kept it simple and directed us to the dog walk from a distance which we all got cause we like that one, and then we did some directional work on the jumps using left and right (thats ok as long as the humans can get it right!). We finished off with the pack leaders 'sending us on' so they stand at our sides and then tell us to go and we have to keep jumping the jumps in front of us till they tell us to stop and they stand still. It's tricky cause we all like to be with our humans for direction, but we are improving they keep telling us. We all got lots of treats yum!
