Apologies for being lax for the past week.. bad blogger! go to your crate! I've been busy with non-agility chores.

Our Saturday practice went very well.. dug out an old Clean Run and set up one of the Alphabet Drills ("R" ) and had a blast. Did some tough discriminations , front and rear crossing, and played with some lead outs as well as drop and runs. I've pretty much decided to knock Soph down into specials and let her jump what she prefers, which is 16. She *can* jump 22 but there is a marked difference in her enthusiasm and performance, so why fight that battle? Our home practice has been limited to occasional weave poles , we're starting to work the clock from offside, with some success. No rush for that, she'll get there. I've been using a jump after the poles to steady her speed as well, again, with limited success.

Class this week was interesting - she's decided to be a bit of a clown and play keep away with the number cones at the bottom of the dogwalk.. not sure where that comes from, they don't look veyr much like the 2o/2o target.. goofychick she is sometimes!

Will try to be a bit more diligent with training and blogging this week...
