We had a course tonight. Teka was sniffing the whole first run. I'm not sure I really got her ready before we started. Otherwise, we did pretty well. I would like to focus on tunnel (especially with distance) and directional jumping (switch, wrap, tight, out) over the summer. Cassi had fun and did a pretty good teeter as well as a great tire jump.
The course was a jump to the dog walk, left to a jump (front cross before or rear cross after), to another jump, around to a chute then the tire jump, over the previous jump (after the dog walk), then switch to the teeter (parallel to the dog walk). Then a jump, right turn to another, then right turn into the weaves (parallel to the teeter). Coming out of the teeter, out left to a jump, go to another jump, right turn to a jump to another, then right turn to a table. From there, a jump into the left end of a tunnel (set up straight into the right side), up the A-frame, ending with a jump.
I read a training post about "criteria." Generally, trainers say that the criteria is non-negotiable. For example, if your criteria is a sit-stay until a certain word is said, they must do that criteria to move on. I really loved how the trainer says she is the "keeper of the joy." I think I might change my "agility" blog tag to "keeper of the joy." It just sounds awesome!
