Teka had 3 exercises tonight. First was a longer sequence. We started at a U-shaped tunnel into a jump to a double jump to 2 sets of 6 weaves. With a front cross, we went left to a jump, into another U shaped tunnel, back into weaves to the double jump, front cross to the tire jump (parallel to the weaves). Teka did have some trouble on the weave entry from the second tunnel--it was hard to see the entry from her angle. So R moved them a little to help out.
Next, we had a jump leading to 3 sets of 4 weaves, with me on the right side. After the weaves, she was supposed to go into a tunnel (but taking the side to the right--the handler side), which I was able to get, but R corrected my handling. I was leaning down too much so she reminded me to "trust" Teka to do it herself. Oh, well, I'm working on it but Teka has needed "hand holding" for so long that it's hard to break the habit. Coming back out of the tunnel, she went back through the weaves (perfectly).
Last we had the "round the world" weave entry exercise, starting with a jump to a broad jump and then into the 6 pole weaves. The weaves were moved into 4 positions, from a pretty straight entry, all the way to a 90 degree entry, entering on the right end and weaving to the left. Teka did great on the broad jump--we started with a quick refresher on it before going into the actual exercise. The 90 degree entry was very difficult for her but she got it.
