My Diary

Intermediate Agility Class #9

Another class, but today we went for a Friday morning one. It is one hour later than the time we go for Tuesday morning so it was warmer already. Goofy did act sluggish, but I can't say for sure if it is because of the weather or because she had such a big meal last night. I think in the future I will make sure she doesn't have that much to eat before classes.

Goofy is back to being "duh" about weave poles again...haha It is funny sometimes she does awesome and other times she acts retarded. Luckily I will be placing an order for some weave poles this month so we can practice at home. Teacher did say though that weave poles take time to learn properly. It can take years before she does really well on them. So I guess I shouldn't feel too bad since she does okay from time to time.

She did get scared on the teeter again.... -.- Oh well. This time her back legs almost slipped off. We will keep at it and with time I don't think it will be a problem. As long as I can encourage her and she will do it, we will keep trying. When she finally quits altogether I would start worrying.

Our "get" exercise is paying off. We will continue to practice this between classes.

Teacher also told me a few things I did wrong and how to correct it. Goofy was doing awesome, but I need some work too...haha I need to be sure I am sending clear signals for her to understand. But I am learning and I hope Goofy keeps trying to figure me out even though I can be confusing if not retarded at times.

Next class is Tuesday morning (no rain please). No other class the rest of the week because teacher will be out of town for an agility competition in GA. Guess we will have to practice at home then. Not time for us to get lazy and flabby. =P
