A Day of Training

We went to the K9 Jym today. yes that is how they spell gym I'm not totally sure why, but  I think it's a pretty cool place, we've done some rally - o classes there and also done some competitive obedience classes with Anne Paul which was amazing, she almost made me want to do just obedience and earn an OTCH with Trixie! haha yeah...we're not going there - too many agility titles to be earned! Back to the K9 Jym, I did a ring rental with two of my agility friends who have some pretty awesome dogs, papillons and poodles, anyway they were a little bit late to the rental but Trixie and Scooter needed some work so I was happy to have the place to myself for awhile. Recently I've been working on doing a 2o2o on the dog walk because she has been striding out of the contact at trials and getting called for it - I think we've missed like 2-3 Q's because of it, some contacts were called even when she was actually in the zone, but no more! She has been making a lot of progress and after some warmup practice she did the 2o2o 5/6 times we did the dog walk in sequences. Her weaves were also looking NICE! she didn't blow them once and let me blind cross them several times. As for Scooter, she was doing great too! I'm sooo happy with how much progress she's made! She ran at the past two agility trials and did both teeters in standard AND at the K9 Jym, so I've decided she'll go back into the AKC Open ring and start showing again :D she has 1 OAJ leg and she'll probably do 1 day of all the 2-day March agility trials we'll be doing and both of the 1-day february trials, so I'm thinking we'll be able to finish her OAJ - 2 Q's in 5 tries? that sounds do-able, as for standard if she does the teeter she should have no problems with standard course time, even when she's walked standard courses and taken like 8-10 seconds on the teeter she's been under time... BUT NO MORE TIME FAULTS FOR SCOOTER AND I! it's behind us now!
