zedd std Sunday at TBAC


Well, what can I say. Sometimes I'm not a big fan of watching videos of my runs. I pick every little thing apart, and I usually start with myself. I run funny, I need to lose weight, Oh my look at my hair, that outfit I have on looks stupid etcOnce I get over my-damn-self which means Mike tells me to knock it off and we start laughing at my comments, I then get down to the nitty gritty. Zedd and I did
not have a perfect run, but it was much better then our last run back in Nov. I got one or two jumps out of him and then he just lapped the perimeter of the ring. No recall at all. He was so stressed he just couldn't contain himself. I actually felt sorry for him, because I didn't know how to help him. Since Nov. I've had a private with Leslie Mcdevitt and implemented exercises from her book "Control Unleashed" into my training program. When I did lose him in the openness of the course I was able to recall him back, and he came a runnin with a happy excited look on his face. He also had a very nice down on the table. He looked at me with relaxed eyes. During his run in Nov he just shook on the table for the whole 5 seconds.
I would like to continue to work on his jumping, contacts (always contacts), and front crosses. My goal is for the next 6 month to diligently train those three things.
