Having a Blast!

Today was the first sunny day in January (what IS that bright yellow orb in the sky? Oh, it's the sun!) and the vast majority of the snow is GONE! I am a snow lover but enough is enough already. Our backyard is still a mud hole but the weather was good enough for me to make the 45 minute drive to our dog training club for some Open and Utility work. It's been several weeks since Moto has seen a jump, done go-outs and I was thrilled that he drove over the jumps very nicely. Our old "he's looking at you" problem while going over the broad jump has returned unfortunately so we'll be backchaining....again. There were 3 other teams there so we also got to work distraction training.
I'm patting myself on the back for making it a fun and dynamic hour of work, and I was thrilled to see Moto's eyes still bright with fun when we ended our session. Yes oh yes we need LOTS of work but the teamwork part is coming nicely into play as a result of all our cooped-up-together time. All that Doodling is paying off big time with lovely setups and pivots.
So we're back home and my mind is just racing with all the fun things we can work on....provided we can go outside!
