Agility "seminar" (One Jump)
Last weekend I did an evening mini agility seminar with Penny. It covers all sorts of techniques you need with a jump, and this one went a bit beyond what we knew (which is fine we just worked at our level). Some things we had covered at the end of last season but it's been so long and I didn't even remember our commands for that anymore haha (must write all the words down, sooooooo many!).
Penny surprised me! she was "on". Good attention and we were "working together" in a set-up with distractions. I expected the worse :P I can't wait for agility season to start, hoping we get out earlier as the field should dry up sooner this year (snow's already well on the way to being melted) it's been a long winter. Once my yard is a bit dryer we can start doing some "one jump" stuff at home as well to prep.
We are working more for tug rewards (VS treat) now which is new (started around the time we did flyball). it's a new handling issue for me to learn (she is distracted by the tug and I have to learn how to move it from hand to hand when we switch sides). When she gets tired she wants food though haha (probably a sign to wrap up the session anyway). Up until recently she worked strictly for food rewards.
