Agility class

We worked on two sequences tonight.  The first was a layering exercise.  There were two jumps starting into the three ways to run.  The closest was 2 jumps, the middle was a teeter, and the farthest was a tunnel.  All led to a jump, out from the teeter.  Cassi did the closest (jumps) and the middle (teeter) just fine, even getting the last jump.  Teka did the jumps and the teeter but had a lot of trouble with the last jump.  The tunnel was impossible for both of them unless I went most of the way with them.

Then we moved to another sequence using a dog walk with a tunnel under each end, weaves parallel, and an A-frame out at one end.  We started in one tunnel right next to the dog walk start, coming out to front cross bringing them around to the weaves.  Out of the weaves onto the A-frame.  Off the A-frame onto the dog walk, bringing into the end of the tunnel they came out of earlier.  Coming out the other end, wrapping back onto the dog walk.  Cassi had trouble starting with the tunnel--she wanted to take the dog walk right next to it.  She finally figured it out.  I added the last time through with Teka a flip into the tunnel we hadn't used, just to see if she'd do it and she did.  Teka missed her weave entry once, but I figured out how to get her out-weave entry like Cassi's; otherwise, both of them had great weaves.
