I love the stop and the running that she has - they both look great and I think it will make you a more competitive team.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405312920948046138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-70059351988341873492011-04-07T17:51:03.415-05:002011-04-07T17:51:03.415-05:00I'm really struggling with Vito on turns, even...I'm really struggling with Vito on turns, even with our new criteria, because it's not as simple as run vs jump. I don't think he has any idea what I'm wanting of him because I myself don't have a clue. Some attempts are practically the same but his stride lands an inch lower or higher and one I reward and one I don't. Unfair.<br /><br />I would skip the turn training all together and just call late except that is worse for Vito. If he doesn't have something straight ahead to zero in on he knows we're turning and either comes of the side or stretches so he's just barely in the yellow and turns tight. Maybe it's changed with the turn work we've done now but I don't know. <br /><br />So I say Lynn looks happy and it's very clear to her. None of this ambiguous criteria. Just stop making me think about that option since it terrifies me!Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-3727819110895296252011-04-07T13:00:47.923-05:002011-04-07T13:00:47.923-05:00Woweee--she looks great!

Do what works for each team.<br /><br />Solo is now 19 months and doesn't weave because I'm so afraid of teaching it wrong that I haven't taught it at all....there is something wrong with that notion.<br /><br />I did a few other things "wrong" with him-but we just go back and fix them. Fortunately for both of us-he doesn't get so hung up on "this is the way to do it"....he's more of a "show me what you want NOW and I'll do it" kind of guy.<br /><br />But I've put it off so long I've gotten embarrassed about the whole weave thing....sigh.
