KC And Cheetah Agility 7/22/10

^Heres the Course...


So this morning i had tryouts for softball..Then A birthday but when i got home I found time to do some agility with KC and Cheetah. yes, Cheetah. My i year old Golden. She didnt like agility much at first but now she has started to like it so i have been doing short sessions to keep her in it. She as been doing amazing. She has already done her foundation work(i think that was what bored her :P )
So Today i brought her out to a course that i got out of a book xD. ifthe picture works...
I did a rear cross when i sent KC or Chetah into the tunnel then did a far away call over the two jumps. They both got it. Cheetah had her entries on the tunnel at the beginningthen at the end...She started losing em.. We'll get there..eventully.
KC was fast and let me cross behind her(YES!) and all round she did really good. Im glad she has starting listening to me better. She dosnt get with jumps how I am supposed to cross behind her >.< This is why I need classes. Ahhhhhhhhhhh hahah lol

zthats my blog entry for today. Mwahahaha

"Go" Command

I took KC out for some work on the "go" command. She did really well for her first time. I set up one jump with a target after it, full of treats. I told her go and sent her over the jump. She did awesome at that after about 5-10 reps I added a second jump and same thing with a target. She did awesome over that too so i justended the go session there but i had a thrid jump set up turned the other direction so she would have to make a distance turn for a sequence and I thought about trying it. She did really good at taking the jump btu not at a distance xD We need mroe distance work xD

Then today, i took her out again just thinking of adding a third jump and doing a 3 minute session. Well i added the third jump with the target and she did it amazing the first time, so I did a few more reps and BOOM I could stand by my swingset(10-15 feet away) and tell her go-go-go and move around behind her(rear cross, just to see if she would notice)but I stayed back a ltttle so it was still distance and she did the three jumps at top speed<3
I thought sweet I could add a tunnel. So i added a tunnel Said, "go-go-go tunnel" and she took the three jumps and went around the tunnel for the treats. Which she should not have gotton... After another try she did the same thihng so I put her behind the third jump and told her, "go, tunnel" and she did it fine for a few reps so I moved her back to the second jump and boom she went around the tunnel again... More work on that too. Haha

For only two days of work I think she did really well. Sorry for long post.

KC July/August training

Working MAJORLY on contacts. She needs to learn to stay on a narrow board. Was doing running contacts but recently switched to 2o2o. We are working on the switch big time.

I also need some distance work xD. We ahve to work on go. Im going to train it with a tennis ball or a target with treats. If I do the target she will have to learn that go is for evry obstacle.
Classes..Hopefully soon.

And Im trying to concinve my parents(and grandma) to let me make an agility field ethier in my backyardor in my grandma's field. grandma's field could be 100x100 and probalay have room for a playyard. But my bro wants to use it for a dirt bike track. :/ hmmmm We'll have to spilt it in half or I better raise some money so so I can so I canbuy all the suppilies and whatnot before he can get dirt :) hehe Im so sneeky..Not really. Hah Keep you updated sorry its been so long.
