Three weeks to the big show!

Another great class session on Tuesday - Sophie is coping very well with the 'judge' on course. I only lost her once when I muffed a send to the tunnel (consistent handling is vital!) - otherwise, she's driving round the course without even a glance at the trainer. I'll need to start getting 'ring crew' sitting on the side as well. We als did a few lateral lead outs, sending Soph to a tunnel when I was about 5 feet away, angled slightly off so that Soph had to find the entrance - not an issue at all.

This week is a busy one - tomorrow is Open House at the training centre, and we'll be doing agility demos and a fun match. Monday we're off to an outside practice of full runs under trial conditions, and of course Tuesday night is class time... the rest of the week we'll be resting!


Quote of the week: "Ask not what your dog can do for you, ask what you can do for your dog"
