More Videos
Here's the videos from our runs on Sunday. It reveals the good, the bad and the ugly parts in unedited form, so be prepared to cover you eyes from time to time ;)
Amazing weekend
Wow! What a weekend. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Zap and Bob did so amazingly well. Of course there was moments of chaos, but there were runs that amazed me as well.
Bob's Weave Pole Weekend
Bob stayed with me this past weekend. I needed a change to work with Bob on specific problem areas. It was so much fun having him here - he and Zap had a blast.
Two years gone by already?!
Zap and Bob turned two years old yesterday. I can't believe how fast they grew up.
First 2011 Update
Busy times so not that many blog post in the last few months. I've been studying (surprise, surprise), training dogs, giving seminars and writing articles for Hund & Træning. I think it's safe to say I've been pretty preoccupied.
Competition Ahead
Had a training session with all the dogs today as my parents came by with Bob and Liva.
Bob's hip x-ray
This summer Bob has some issues with his pelvis. His jumping was of and he didn't really extend when running. The chiropractor wanted to make sure there wasn't more to it, so we ended up getting his hips x-rayed.
Weave Poles and Contacts
Zap is now 15 months old and I started teaching him the 2x2 weave this week. He's almost weaving 4 straight poles, but I want to work more on entries and he's getting next week off -his brain and body needs a break.
Running Contacts 12: An improvement!
More videos. Definitely an improvement from session 11, but I still feel like the puppies would benefit from more groundwork without any height.
Running Contacts 11
Videos from our session 11. Notice the big difference between Poncho and Zap/Bob's performances. They have had the exact same amount of training, but Poncho has progressed through the initial stages much faster even though he's been retrained - talking about an operant dog!
Running Contacts 6-10: Reevaluating
I been doing a lot of thinking concerning our running contacts. Lately many people have been blogging running dog walks and whether or not the handler is fast enough to handle a running dog walk.
Running Contacts 4: New Plank and Location
Just had our fourth session. Bob's second to be precise. Thought I might as well generalize the behavior from the beginning to other planks and environments.
