I went to class last night with Zeddicus. It was a good class. Zedd did very well. I was a little intimidated at first with all the border collies that were there, but I got over it quick. Rosanne was great. We started the class with her talking about lead outs, and then we ran some courses. It was good. I really liked the lead out discussion. I need stuff like that. Some times I go through this space where I think I'm not taken serious as a handler because I choose to run and compete with border terriers. Even through border terriers may be an "off" breed for agility I still want to be competitive and achieve goals I've set for myself and my dogs. I love border terriers and it's a breed I really enjoy living with, and a breed that fits my personality and life style. There, I said my peace, border terriers it is. HEE HEE.
I was really happy with Zed last night. He ran better then I did through the sand. He hit his contacts very time. Wonderful!!! My goals for the next couple of months is to work on his contacts, front crosses and I would like to tighten up his turning. I would like to see him wrap the jumps. Wrapping the jumps is something I have no idea how to teach. If I teach Zed to wrap the jumps will this help with his turning? can he even structurally wrap jumps??? Something to ask people how are more experienced then me.
I ran on the treadmill tonight and then worked with Zedd on teaching him to hit this button that plays the song "Do you Love Me" too funny. Now I'm just sitting with Zedd on my lap blogging while Bunzella is nesting on the other couch. I'd like to do some matt work with Zedd and then go to bed. It felt like a long weird day at work!!!
