Weave 201C

Teka was super excited to play tonight, although she was a little nervous a few times about other dogs hanging out too close to her exercise.  Our first sequence was divided into two parts.  The first part was 3 jumps (the first one 90 degrees from the second, the rest straight on) on my left, into a U-shaped tunnel--on the right side, coming out on the left end, back over the jumps and U turning over the last jump into the weaves.

The second part started with the left side of the tunnel, into the weaves, over the 3 jumps, into the weaves again.

Our second sequence was an oval, and we could stay in the middle, pretty much turning in a circle a couple times and then going the other way.  We started into the left side of the tunnel, into the 6 weaves, out over a jump, into the other 6 weaves, back into the left end of the tunnel, through the 6 weaves, out over the jump, into the 6 weaves, back into the left side of the tunnel.  Then we front crossed and went back into the weaves we just came out of, over the jump, into the other weaves, and back to the left side (not the close side for the dog) of the tunnel.  That was what I had trouble with Teka doing, somewhat because of her but more because I kept getting my arms and legs mixed up.  I needed to have my right arm and leg pointing at the tunnel entry.  R demonstrated it like a ballerina move so if I end up doing it at a trial or something, I totally blame her.

Last, R stood by a set of 4 weave poles and moved them each time we went through the exercise.  We added a double jump at the beginning, wrapping into the straight exercise--tire jump, jump, into the weaves.  Teka's entries were awesome.

While we waiting our turn throughout the night, I worked with her on "crawl" since she kept laying down with her tail going a mile-a-minute.  It was so cute.
