Bien Bebe

Class was really fun tonight! I think Pickle has been going through a ton of puppy stages, but this one I love! He has been so "on" reading my body language, his focus has improved exponentially, and his speed is increasing! He gave be 100% of his attention during class tonight. Class tonight was a culmination of several things we've been working on such as wraps, distance work, serpentines, and backs. I like that Jamie gives us harder courses than what novice will be, so that when we start showing-> the courses will be so simple. One thing from class tonight that we will have to work on will be our sends- he likes working at a distance laterally, but does not like to get to far in front of me... somethin' to think about.

Finally...

I've been without internet for almost a whole week... AHHHH!

Our tuesday class was awesome!!! Pickle does so much better in smaller classes (less distractions). Let me preface by informing you that Jamie was not in the best mood- which means that the class is harder. We worked on distance work so that our dogs could work more independently from the handlers. My boy was a champ!!! He is definately a star! He worked so hard for me... we gradually increased the difficulty as the class progressed, eventually to leading to multiple obstacles between us and the pups.

*I'll add more later... sooooo tired
