He did the teeter!

FYI. If you're interested in checking out a NADAC trial (no teeters), there'll be one at Rohr Park (Bonita/Chula Vista) next weekend. I'll be there. And if you like what you see, maybe you'd like to sign up for a trial in November at the same park. It's a great way to get out there w/o stressing out on the teeter and having to do it.

I may do that. I do take Shadow to trials for an hour or two once in a while because he's sensitive to new or different things and he's not going to improve being left at home.

Justicemom - I love the story about Ember, it made me laugh, she sounds like a handful, in a good way. I know Shadow will only do something correctly twice, the third time he's reluctant and looks at me as if to say, "I already did that". So I try to keep his training sessions short. He's my first Sheltie but I can see harsh words/attitude would not work with him, which is actually nice, who wants to yell at their dog?

This would be great for Shadow. It's going to be two rings, so busy busy busy. Good for him to get used to it. If you do decide you want to try it out, the November one is only one ring, so it'll be a lot smaller and may be better for him when he's actually trialling.

If you go and you want to visit me, I'll be under the red tent (usually there aren't that many Shelties there anyways) and my spiky haired hubby will be sitting under there (just look for a bunch of asian ppl, lol). Oh, I typically work during the Excellent classes so if you think you'll stop by, let me konw, so I can tell my hubby to expect another Sheltie.

Here's the address to the park in case you're not sure where it is:
Rohr Park, Grass Soccer Field
4548 Sweetwater Road
Chula Vista, CA 91910

And here's the premium for November, if in case after next weekend, you want to try it out :) I'm sure Shadow could do all of it if the teeter is his only problem.
 
Just realized the Nov one is 2 rings also. Not sure if Shadow would be okay with that, but you could try something easier like tunnelers or jumpers.
