Work continues for Miss Joule. I am just now starting her with the 2x2 weave method. We are working 2 sets of poles, one in front of the other. I am trying this on the lawn but I find that it is difficult for her to see the reward and this results in much time spent searching for her treat after going through the poles. I think I will try scraping an area down to dirt in the dog run and see if that helps. I am now going to attack this seriously and will post a training schedule for our progress soon.



We have had our first set of puppy agility classes and this past Thursday, ran our first course. very interetsing. She loves it. Good start line stay (yeahhh!) and lots of flat out running. I was amazed that she completely ignored all the other dogs during her run. I noticed that she was easily pulled off an obstacle by me moving away. not surprising for a young dog but this indicates we will need to do some lateral work. Also, there was a tunnel curving under the A-frame. This required me to send her into the tunnel and veer away to get around the A-frame. She could not go trhough the tunnel. Hmmm!
