KC and Cheetah

Well KC will be 11 months on September 20. I got the ok from the person I am buying equipment from(who has competed in agility for EVER!)that I could start weave entries with KC. So today I took her out to some weave entries. Man,She catches on fast! Just with two poles,I took her outside and as soon as I took her outside she ran right through them. I clicked and treated. She did really well for a first session. I wasnt using a command just doing the entries with me on each side. She did really good.She was driving forward and was running through them(not walking). One time she single-stepped just the two poles but it was awesome:)Im hoping to get some weave wires soon, so I can train her with those insted of luring,I might do channels or 2x2's tho. I don't know yet. I only did about 5 reps. Eventullly,yes I did add the command and she knows it now. Im hoping to work hard on entries. I dont think she will miss any, but i have to work on the other side too. She has to learn to weave with me on ethier side.
Then I did a sequence, because of how much energy she had. She diid good on thatbut got distracted by the cat >:(

Cheetah has been doing entries too. She knows them well so i put a third pole on. She did really well with that. I didint even have to lure her:) Im so proud of Cheetah. She is being very good.

More Cheetah and KC Agility

Yay cold-ish weather. I went outside and did some agility(duhhh) and it was entertianing. Mostly because of school I havent been able to do agility everyday:/ so KC has more energy when I go to take her outside, so she dosn't listen as well.. I did a kinda odd course.Today. KC dosn't like rear crosses at all so I have been trying to work on those and every once is a while she will let me do one but she just dosnt let me cross. She jumps up on me ??? She good with tight turns and tunnels but today something must have been up cuz she was slower and was not liking the tunnel, although it was under a slide like it would be under an aframe..I also raised her jump height up 1 inch. She was doing jumping 7 inches she is now jumping 8, or 9 8.5 i think.

Cheetah is awesome. She is doing really well. We do quick sessions. Same course as KC just made easier. She likes me on her outside. it so uncomfortable...Sometimes she lets me go on her inside but only sometimes. More stuff to work on...

Well overall it was a great session :D
