Toni D & BATS Show

Well, we had training again on Friday with Toni again. I feel that these regular sessions are really good for me, and Toni comes up with something helpful every time we see her. Since I last saw Toni I have been working a lot on Hoaxeys weaves and her start lines. Toni suggested to give Hoax something else to do on the start line, and suggested Minx' chin touch to the floor. I went away and started training this to Hoaxey and it has helped with her starts a lot! We worked some sequences, some entries and some independant contacts. Hoaxeys entries from the left still need work (e.g. going in between poles 1-2 rather than wrapping the first weave). Overall I was pleased with her. She is a little hesitant with her speed sometimes and doesnt attack everything at 100 mph. I hope this will come with confidence on the harder sequences we are trying now.

BATS on Saturday and the weather started ok- yay it meant I could run. Hoax 3-4 Med jumping was up first. She did a really neat little run with speed where it was needed and some nice turns, we still had one wide turn and she could have given more speed through her weaves and some of the lines but it was probably her best competition run so far. Clear again and she went into the lead. Another quick G4 BC was queing just behind her. It put a fantastic run in right up till the last jump where it twiddled which gave Hoaxey 1st place again! Boo ran very well in his Agility which I did as a training run, he was a little wild but very quick, he is such fun! Finally Hoaxey ran the 1-7 Agility. I was extremely pleased with her in here, she is trying so hard for me. We had another clear round with me training all her contacts! Two clears in two runs- my goodness are we starting to get a little consistency?!?
