he's always been great at posing- that's the first time he's been in a folding chair though.............

When Spirit got her first Novice Standard Q (which means that she did THE TEETER successfully) I was sorely tempted to do a MACH run tooI know you heard me on Sunday- other than running around the ring with a bar, it was just like a Mach
And yes, I DID hear a very loud victory scream - I was wondering who it was ;-)

But he is still the most fun to watch in the weaves

he is- wish we'd been videoing the dogs playing in the back yard- my 4 and at least my friend's 4 were out. I decided that mine needed some weave practice- Dixie went first since she won't wait while Cran weaves - then Cran went and Dix decided to weave some more so Cran jumped over her and kept weaving without missing a pole. Our other friend was very impressed and said that was some proofing with distractions. all the other dogs were running around too. I decided that Jocu and Destin didn't need to try in that environment. would have been an awesome video though

this is the arena where Destin first jumped off a teeter in a trial- both times last year and both times this year. we might have to do Fast there next year and just keep doing the teeter.......When Spirit got her first Novice Standard Q (which means that she did THE TEETER successfully) I was sorely tempted to do a MACH run too

Cran's ribbon photo is really super nice! What a handsome guy he is. I know Faith's challenge would be ME - trying to remember the course and tell her in time. She is super fast, but she also loses focus sometimes. And I CANNOT train her with treats - she loses all drive and just wants to watch my hand. Luckily we just do it for fun, but I sometimes wonder how far she could go....
Anyway, congratulations on your perseverance, Cran looks pleased with himself, as well.

thank you- I call Cran my pretty boy all the time
every dog is challenged by the handler- reminds me that I need to post about the other dogs because I did screw Dixie up and then she did her own thing...
you can train with treats- each individual obstacle. then when you put 2 or 3 things together-give the treats at the end- use a treat and train dispenser or just a target plate that you put cookies on when you both get there. you have to work up to doing a full course. another option would be a food toy that you throw out ahead and then she'd get her cookies there.
