Well it was training at MAD last night and we had the lovely Don Curtis. He specifcally set up excersises including weaves and contacts so me and the Hoaxey monster got a chance to practise them- thanks Don you are a darling!
We started off with some fast sprints round the outside using all three contacts and Hoax was great. She regognised the seesaw and DW without a problem this time (she has been confusing the two) and did them nicely. Her seesaw is already improving, she is stopping about a foot from the end now instead of stopping three foot from the end so is nearly in FP by the time the SS hits the ground. Much better! AF and DW were good although still more speed needed- but then I guess we will always think that!
We also worked a lot of weaves, Hoax finds weaving very tiring at the moment so I dont like her to do too many reps. we did straight line starts into them and also some left handed entries. Her straight entries were lovely, she is really checking stride to get into them (thanks for noticing Yvette) x Her left handed are not so good- but that'd ok, we can work on that.
Overall she was really good, we were both shattered when we got home but happy. I feel fairly ok going into our first show this weekend...

gemma hanekom you are a creep, i will tell him what i want next time but tell him it came from you. hahahaha they were very testing exercises in to the weaves and she worked them very well except when you jumped over number 5 which pulled her out of the weaves, she has picked up the check back at the entry really nicely, could she have a word with the beast for me.
contacts were also great, oh but you did look tired so i told him off for working you too hard.

Have a great time at Mid Downs and Chippenham this weekend with Hoaxey Gemma. You'll be great. Pop sends licks to Boo for MId Downs - she (and we) won;t be there as she is out of competing agility I reckon til end May now. Trying not to be sad Focus on how much better she'll feel when the muscles come back. Anyway Mid Downs too far for two runs for Henners.Hxx
Good luck for tomorrow Gemma and have fun love karen and all the woofs xxx
