Intermediate Agility Class #10

We were again the only students in class. It is like having a private session without the price...lol.

We did a mini course of 8 to start. Then we broke the large course of 21 obstacles into 3 sections. We did 1-6. Then 7-13. And last 14-21. Then at the end of class, teacher had us do the whole course 1-21 for the first time. She said Goofy's fitness is looking good so we can try. It was awesome doing the whole course and Goofy did well (though I need work still...haha).

I did notice something that teacher noticed and mentioned was that I have to make sure before Goofy runs a course to fix her top knot because Goofy uses her peripheral vision while running and it can be blocked by the hair if not pulled up well. So I need to make sure on that.

Goofy did much better with the tires today even with the grass a bit over grown. The teeter was on and off how she felt about it but she is gaining confidence. I am getting more aware of the signals I send her so I am not messing her up. My body and where it is facing is also important for Goofy to know what I want her to do. Weave poles are still an issue, but I will be ordering them from Over!Rover and will have them this month so I can practice at home.

I have decided that Goofy will be getting her summer modified continental very soon. I was letting her grow out puffy because I didn't know what I wanted. I do love her puffy, but I would also love to see how the muscles in her rear is now. She was Miss Flabby Bottom...haha

I did notice tear stains increasing again. This has to be because of one of the treats I am using and I know exactly which one it has to be. So I won't be using that one anymore. I have added Angel's Eyes to her food for a few days now to get rid of those ugly stains quicker.

Anyways, next class isn't until next week since teacher will be out of town starting tomorrow. So wait for another post next Tuesday.
