The DW is ready for ASCA

Do I say that after he's in position? Or getting there? I haven't listened to the videos yet, and I wanted to so I could HEAR what I'm saying. Cuz y'know, I don't know what the heck I'm saying when I run.

If it's before he gets into position, then I'm actually saying "get it, get it, get it" it's his "command" to get into position. I tried using just "get it", but I realized I was repeating it a lot when training so I stuck with the repeat. So the long thing is his command. Now, if I'm saying it after, ugh. Smack me. Cuz he's supposed to know to get into position and stay w/o any follow-up after my Get It command.

No MACH points in Standard and I'm only in ExA still. And I'm not happy with his flyoff on the teeter either. The other thing holding me back is money. It'll probably be going to Miko instead.

Sorry, I meant Get it,Get it.I only tell my dogs when they are in the middle of the DW "Touch" and "Wait.I only like to say things once.They know their jobs.I had Sting at my girlfriend's house last week and worked Sting on all the contact equipment and weaves and he was brillaint especially not having done anything for awhile.I have a USDAA trial Jan.1st.Kojii looks great and I think you should enter him in the AKC Standard.After all the courses are way easy and you can babysit the contacts.

Well, his command unfortunately turned into get it, get it, get it. That's my fault, not because I had to repeat myself. So, it is me saying it once, hehehe.

I can enter him and I could probably Q and get out of ExA, but babysitting the contacts isn't something I like to use in the ring. I did it with his DW contacts and look what a mess those got.

I guess I was under the impression you were looking to get out of Ex.A and start working on your MX MXJ and MACH.Just curious has anyone other than yourself run Koji for you in a trial?I would be curious to see what he could do with another handler.

Oh trust me, I am. But I don't want to "break" anything else. His teeter is a mess and obviously he fell off and hurt himself. So not good. I don't want it to get worse. At this point, it's safety first before MACH. That will come, hopefully before he's 10. hehehe!

Y'know, only 2 other people have run him, but it was during practice. It also was a LONG time ago so, he wasn't any better with someone else. I wonder if someone could run him (obviously then we'd know if it's all handler issue, which it probably is. I admit, I'm not great). Maybe I should ask my trainer to run him. Just to see if it's me.
