Hmm. I feel like we have sooo much to work on but I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully next time I have clips of Bear, since she did agility earlier in the week. Maybe I will take vids of her in the Backyard next week, or if Rush is out of heat in the field! She hasnt improved that much, but I have spent a lot of my time working on ground work - mainly recalls, drive work, distance, switches, no equipment. This is one of those few times I brought out the equipment.

I dont really know what to say about Rush, I am forever proud of her, and I can honestly say our bond is getting so strong. I love her more then anything. Words cannot describe.

we still need to work on better contact stays and her weave entries because something happened too them. I have some weave games I hope to play to get her all excited about weaves entries. I will say she is driving through them really nicely though.

I have a few trials planned for the summer (FOR BOTH DOGS). Just a few runs each (not a full weekend). Hopefully it will help our trialing funk if there isnt much to be expected. I am making a rule to only run Bear indoors for the summer though (because of what the heat does to her). If its an outdoor trial I am not going to take her (and possibly not Rush either).

Sorry rambling. I like to talk sometimes XD.

Rush loves water. Bear loves Chip (the dog behind the fence she is stalking for most of the video lol).

Disclaimer - I own the video not the audio (audio belongs to Does That Offend You, Yeah?) Using for strictly entertainment purposes.

ENJOY!

my instructor has an older blue merle dog named Trigger, and when she did world team tryouts a couple years back she did a quick release, which made the dog loook like a running contact was performed, but Trig kinda "crouched down" and then ran.

It looks so awesome, I want to get a DVD on how to do it and maybe experiment with Bear a little bit, since her contacts are already phail XD. Slayer is gonna have kickass contacts.

Would you turn 4otf into running or always keep the down/stay?

[PinayTiger]

that's sweet. I think I am doing 4otf with slayer =D

Thank you! Rush is waiting until she is a little older to be spayed. Actually the month after she turns 2 is her spay recovery month I am doing it hopefully between 22-24 months pending if she has a third heat cycle and throws off my plan lol.
