Tonight I took Zedd over to the training building. We worked on collection, wrap, and front cross drills. I was very pleased with Zedd's performance. We also worked some contacts and weave polls. I was using the Hollie roller as a reward more then food, and Zedd seemed to really like that. He loves food too, but with his digestive issues lately, I thought I'd give his system a break from using food as a reward.
I started training the Rachel Sanders method for the A-frame. I'm not a big fan of how Zedd performs his A-frame. I believe he understands that he needs to hit a specific spot on the yellow, but his striding up and over the Aframe is awful. I've gotten to the section that you do the jump grid. It seems to me that the jump grid is set up for bigger striding dog. When I had Zedd doing the grid it seemed to me that he had to take a couple extra strides to get to the box. Hummmm. Something for me to think about, and ask around.
I'm off to Westminster tomorrow with Zedd. I actually entered him both days. My goals tomorrow is to use my happy gay voice and be full of energy. Zedd loves that. Contacts and Front crosses.
I am grateful for the nice weather we had today, and my bed.
