Class # 24, a recap:

These are comments from my instructors:
  • Tie your hair back, it seems I flip and fiddle with it on the course...
  • Don't flail your arms, keep your hand and arm movements lower than your shoulders
  • Don't take your eyes off your dog
  • Get your commands out faster, and for gosh sake's be consistent with 'whatyoucallit'
  • The dog is not wrong - you are!
  • Don't tell him, easy-easy-slow!
  • have you considered ... frisbee? :D

Lucikly, I'm not easily discouraged and very amused. We will keep trying to learn how to execute a cross without running backwards ~ and staying out of my dog's way. :)

I personally can't stand my hair in my eyes so it's always in a ponytail to do anything with the dogs.......

got to take your eyes off your dog if you do a blind cross....:razz:
I remember in the short 3.5 yrs that we've been doing agility- I did one in practice once with Cran and was told that's a no no....
and now it's one of the big handling maneuvers currently....
 
Oh yes!
Welcome to HAHA
Sounds to me like you're TOTALLY getting the hang of it :D

Hence I am also doing disc dog now ;) Just so I can try and do something right
lol

Nothing better than agility tho, cuz you KNOW you earned every little Q you ever get :D
 
Oh the good old days of all the little things you learn.

I'm sure I have video of me saying, "A-frame, no, I mean walk it, no no, teeter, oh just get up there". HAHA. Even at the end, I'd still get words mixed up....and this is exactly why I never even bothered trying to train left/right.
