Marsh and I had our first private agility lesson and it was fantastic! :hail::hail::hail: I have homework to do and when Marsh has 6 weave poles and a solid contact behavior I'm going to schedule another one. I loved working with her, she's an AKC judge and was recommended to me from a friend who credits her with getting a MACH on her border collie.
One of the big things we worked on was 2o2o, since Marsh had nothing of the sort. I had been toying with the idea of running contacts and didn't want to install 2o2o before I made up my mind, but I think that might wait for the next dog. I need to run faster first!
My question has to do with names for obstacles vs. names for actions. Do you name the contact behavior separate from the obstacle name? Such as "A-frame!" to get on the A-frame in the first place, then "bottom!" to land in a 2o2o? Or is the contact behavior inherent in the "A-frame!" I suppose there's no real harm in either way, it just changes how I want to name things. Is the teeter different than the A-Frame and Dogwalk? Is the Dogwalk different than the A-Frame?
