Well not really, but Moto is really turning on to agility. It's quite clear he is enjoying the jumping portion of his agility lessons and is picking up speed. As I'd mentioned earlier the jumps are lowered to 12" to help him gain momentum and that is working. I need to have him wicketed as when I measure him he's just under 19" which would mean he can jump 18 in Obedience, but I do believe he'll still be jumping 20" in agility. His A-frame is getting really nice and while he still doesn't attack the dog walk he is trotting across it much faster. Teeter needs LOTS of work, that one will be awhile. But each week he improves so rapidly it's fun to watch. He can do 6 weaves with ease so his homework is to work up to 12.
We're looking forward to our 4 days of Obedience at Platt Obedience Camp next weekend. I find their teaching methods most compatible with my dogs and I always enjoy my time there. Plus my friends Dee and Ray will be there as other folks from the MO area so it should be a good time.
The weather is so great I'm going to go out now and train Mr. Moto and continue our article quest. Wish I had more time and energy to work with him more as I'm really enjoying our training time. All those little building blocks are being strung together more and he's understanding the exercises so it's exciting to see him blossom.
