But this time I decided to take on Susan's Garrett 2x2 weave pole teaching program. I wanted to see if I follow right down to the letter if I can get Riot to learn 12 poles in 12 days and nailing the entrance.
So far so good I have to say. We are at day 5 and she can nail entrances better than Grommit.
Still not fool proof obviously, but I really like the progress I am seeing and the fact that she's thinking about it.
This morning she did all 6 poles, totally closed and from different angles, no guiding or anything.
Here's a summary of her first five days.
Since her dog walk is awesome and now just needs proofing and more practice basically, I thought it might be time to take on the A-frame.
YIKES. Here's our first pass at it. Notice 3 strides on the first couple tries. Also, keep in mind she's a little dog. OK, this will take some time and some imagination to figure out how not to let her take flying leaps over.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .........................
In the meantime, we've been working on jump grids, also going back to a lot of rear end awareness exercises again, double time!
In other news .... this week we are going for Xrays, I need to know I am not seeing things.
Next week she's getting spayed. I am hoping to be able to progress through the poles so that when she's recovered we'll be able to start working on more tricky parts.
She's a Riot, that's for sure!!!!
