Training With Lucy

I had been a bit conscious that we hadn't been to the field to do any training for nearly 2 weeks due to bad weather so on Monday we managed to squeeze in an hour before it got dark. I thought Meg might have forgotten her single stride weaves but she is doing it every time when the V's are open, its just closing them up now thats taking its time. Still we have all winter and i'm confident she will get there.

Today we had a couple of hours of 1-2-1 training with Lucy. Each dog had 40 mins each. With Heidi and Megan we mainly worked on tightening turns and my handling (which at times was poor!), and with Kody we did a bit on contacts and then some jumping and handling. It made a nice change to train with someone else as we no longer go to club. I think in the new year we may have a session every couple of weeks for a while.

Tomorrow all being well I plan to get to the field in the morning and start some jump grids training, mainly focusing on Heidi as she knocked a lot of poles today so it was a gentle reminder that we could do with attempting to sort it!
