Agility Training

Thursday was agility training for Heidi and Megan. Heidi had a good class, her and Conor did a few small jumping circuits followed by some contact training. Megan took part in practices for the whole hour this week. She is by far the youngest in her group so we only do a minimal amount of work. This week while the ohers were doing jump, tunnel, jump Megan just did the tunnel. She isn't too keen on te flat tunnel (with it held up) she only went through once but its a start. We also did some touch training with her and she picked that up almost instantly. Lastly we did running through the channel weaves but with them opened right up. She seemed to really enjoy herself and take it all in her stride. This morning me and Brian had agility training too. It is the last time he will go on a Saturday as I a have decided to move him to a Tuesday evening (as we don't get to go o a Saturday much anymore). He had a very good class, practicing some jumping sequences and lots of weave practices from different angles. He is very acurate, just really slow! We also worked on the dreaded see-saw as he runs at it, doesn't slow down and flings himself off the end!! Today we practiced it quite a bit and he seems to get that he needs to wait for it to tip in the midde before he can go down it, only problem is he will only do it when i'm right there with him. I'm sure it will come with some practice though.
