We completed our level 1 class. Yay!!!!! There's a break in classes over the winter and classes start up again in February. The next class we are taking focuses mainly on the contacts and weaves so we can work on improving those.
I didn't take these pics
So.... I present to you Cricket's diploma
Practicing the A-frame. She did amazing her first few tries, but today she was distracted and I was tired so it took us a bit to warm up and we screwed up a little. I need to practice not turning towards her to try to stop her at the bottom of the Aframe on the contact and instead face forward holding a treat out at the bottom. She is so fast its hard getting to the other side before she does during training so we did it on leash most of the time
And now the jumps. She is pretty good at the jumps. Today she kept trying to turn towards me after the first jump instead of following my lead towards the next jump. I think in a big way it was my fault today though because I was seriously so tired.
Tire jump. She is wearing a leash in this pic I know. I have a tab leash but I forgot it and for some reason everytime she jumped the tire jump she got super excited and wanted to zoomie so we kept the leash on today to work on keeping her from zooming after jumping through
Practicing the teeter. She is only doing this leashed right now and she is doing super well on it. She has absolutely NO fear whatsoever of the teeter.
Tunnel. She got this one down super quick.
I love this photo but I just wish SHE was in focus
