toffee, the big Sheltie got another Gambler's Q

[take4roll10]

Great runs! You and Toffee really look like you're having a blast.

Congrats on the Q and good luck in advanced!

Yay! Advanced Gamblers, here you come! That is so awesome. I feel like I always say this--but it's always true--you guys improve with every trial. That's a true testament to your training

And just a tip--try to use a bit more of your motion (accel and decel) vs. your arms. When you wanted Toffee to do the gamble you went right up to the line (with him even with you) and stopped and threw your arm out. It's more effective if you can get him driving and you can keep moving. The problem with doing the arm thing is that once it's out it leaves you nowhere to go and starts to become meaningless.

Trust me--I know how hard it is to get a velcro dog to drive ahead, but it's doable

Thanks Ashley, good call. Problem is I have one speed, slow, LOLLLL
I will try and play more with that because you are absolutely right!

Congrats on the Q and moving on to Advanced! Is it just me or Toffee looks like he's so proud of having done the gambler sequences . What a good boy! (And a good handler well done!)
