Wow, another class huh?

Goofy did well today. Like always we practice the obstacles she has issues with before class starts. So today was teeter, weave, and tunnel at angles.

I have to say, she does know weave. But acts likes she doesn't at times...lol Can't wait for my order of weave poles to arrive soon. Teeter she seems to be getting over, but then suddenly she is like "oh wait, I think I am supposed to not like this thing" and stops midway on it...haha

We did have difficulty with some jump positioning. When the jumps are almost lined up side by side and you have to send her over one while making a half circle to the next... well I mess up and send the wrong signals. I think we will try to practice that in the beginning of next class. But I am getting a better idea of positioning and strategies for running the course.

We also finally practiced the multiple jump in class today with only 2 of the last ones. She is getting the hang of the word "get" and getting it much better. So tomorrow before class we need to practice that a few times too. Next week I hope we can get her to doing 3 in a row.

Susan Garretts Success with one jump DVD may help you alot with serpentines and threadles. It does a nice job of breaking down each skill. That way you can practice at home with one jump:)
Glad to hear you are having fun!!
