Agility Homework Week 6

Class was fun. We missed a bit the week we were gone, but Savvy caught up pretty quickly. Our homework for this week is as follows:

1) Keep working on spins, and heeling on the right side
2) Start using a chair or jump standard to practice front and rear crosses
3) Start working on targeting the contacts and holding position of either 2 on/2 off, or 1 on/3 off

Louisville

Well we had an interesting time in Louisville. Savvy walked away with his first leg towards his Rally Novice title! He did a pretty good job in the ring and managed to get an 89. Not bad for his first weekend showing. The day before he would have Q'ed but he peed in the ring. Totally my fault I should have taken him out. The rest of the weekend he didn't pee, and held his stays, but had no attention whatsoever. He's only just turned 9 months old I can't honestly ask for more than that from him. He has, however, given me the confidence that once we work on distractions and attention he's going to be an unbeatable dog in Rally and Obedience.
