After trialing this weekend at a local trial, I was questioning if I should really keep doing agility with him. I was wondering if the trials were just too much for him. A lot of what you said really hit home. I need to remember the journey and forget about the Qs. I need to keep in mind the successes we had this weekend, like a 3 jump lead out with a solid start line stay, playing focus games with me prior to going into the ring, doing the send portion of our first ever AKC FAST class entry, which included weaves! (We are working on distance work.) <br /><br />Thank you for your statement NEVER EVER GIVE UP...EVER...DAMMIT!<br /><br />Lisa :)Lisa1216https://www.blogger.com/profile/03768243164055955640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-4115587005847466052012-05-09T21:46:14.663-05:002012-05-09T21:46:14.663-05:00I wish I was going to be at worlds-I would love to...I wish I was going to be at worlds-I would love to meet you in person and I would dearly love to be there, and I wish I had five thousand or one thousand dollars in disposable income so I could pay that to learn running contacts, LOL, but I hope I would have the sense to know there are no magic bullets, teaching running contacts is the great equalizer it stretches your skills no matter who you are ;-).

I’m working on training my 4 month old BC puppy good foundation for agility, he’ll be my first agility dog, something I’ve been waiting 15 years for.<br />Can you possibly share a tip or two with a new comer to this wonderful sport?<br />We’re already working on 2o2o, recall, a very fast sit and down. Heel and side. Concentration on me. Brick work and some time spent on a balance ball every week to build strength and awareness. Is there any other small thing you can maybe point me in the right direction of?<br />He has very little food drive, small toy drive, he’s praise driven, is this going to be a problem as he grows? Should I push him more to be play driven? <br /><br />Sorry for blabbing! I just love my V boy. ;) <br />Thanks for taking the time to maybe answer my questions, and even if you don’t I get soooo much information from your blog.BlackWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829226644453506737noreply@blogger.com
