SNOW SNOW.... and more SNOW!!

We went out and tried the Round 1 course for my agility contest. It was soooo fun! I've never taught Tarra the backside of a jump, so she was a little nsure about that. Then with the bonus course, omg she handled that like a pro! I was really surprised with her distance! Looks like our work with the weave sends really paid off! Now we need to work directionals + distance on the tunnel. Speaking of the tunnel.... AMY went though the tunnel today! AMY, YES AMY!!! Crazy right? For the past few weeks I would just toss small bits of kibble/treats and she'd put one foot in the tunnel. Today she went all the way in, so I straightened it out and she went through! Now we just have to work on curving the tunnel. I'm SO proud of her!! It was a good day. :)

Today we rose the 4' AF up to 5'7, AKC height. We won't be trialing in AKC for a few months, but her fun matches are AKC so I want her to be comfortable at AKC height.

It was a huge height difference, but since Tarra is obsessive about the AF, I thought she could handle it. *correction I KNEW she could handle it. and she did. epicly.

She jumps the apex like its nothing, but often when she jumps the apex, she only lands once on the down ramp, all the way into the contact. Yeah It looks purdy cool, but I think it's too dangerous for her, so I like it when she puts two strides on the down ramp.

Overall it was a great session, she was such a good girlie! And we did a quick sequence beginning with the AF and ending with a tunnel. Of course she ignored me and exited the tunnel and ran straight up the DW - which I'm happy she's comfortable enough to take the DW when I don't cue it, but she missed her contact since she wasn't running full speed. Oh well, she jumped the contact and ran to play with Halli.

She's so silly. I love her!
