He's still checking in, but that is ok, because I was slow, AND I have the darn camera.. and then I was facing wrong way and had to turn my feet facing the right directions... lol

That's great!!! I've found that probably the BEST training tool we have is a start line stay (basically what you're practicing). It allows you to set up and work so many different things. There are many people we train with that don't have this with their dogs, and we are at such an advantage.

Also, I wanted to say "How high is he jumping?!" and then I realized that he's a tall sheltie! It's so hard to tell without seeing him next to another sheltie, or a person :)

he's 18.5 inches and 34 pounds... lol
Vet says he's a pretty muscly guy :)
 
I know I had troubles and tribulations with the weaves, but I had taken a break for a bit with his allergy and stuff, and look at him, after not practicing for a while.. we closed the weaves again, and he is NOT too bad at all!

Love this guy :)

Sorry video was with new cell phone which I am still trying to figure out how to work, lol, so video is sideways *sigh*

Yay!!! That is so wonderful.

Y'know, I hadn't really run Koji in awhile at training (3 weeks). I mean, I literally walked and worked on my distance. Last week, I ran, ohmigod, he was awesome. Maybe sometimes they need a break. Seemed like my semi-break made him great. LOL.
 
He's looking really good! I think taking a break from weaves sometimes works really well. It's like they need a little time to process.
 
Looking good Toffee! We also put weaves on hold for a little bit. We picked it back up a few days ago and Bailey is starting to get the hang of it again.
