agility

Tuesday's class

1. new dog-a little, snarky female min pin. Griff didn't perseverate too badly on her though
2. weaves-6 were awesome. mostly. need to work harder entries, or should I train 12 first? Dunno
3. Front crosses- I hates them. He does rear crosses so well, his turn command is getting great, and I always trip us both up when I try to get in front of him. I know I need to work them, and Barb made me, so that was good. I know they will be helpful. I know, I know. They just make me feel awkward, especially when she tried to have me add 4 into a 10 obstacle sequence, most of them being tight jumps.
4. teeter-solid.
5. contacts--weak. Didn't we practice these? Need to have solid, because I don't want him to start f'ing them up and getting away with it because we're at a trial. If I let it slide, eventually he will launch himself off a dog walk at some point.
6. arosal-higher than I expected. He was really excitable about the advanced class before him, even though he's seen all those dogs before. Eep. May make the trial more interesting than I thought. Need to work on self-control exercises. Especially prior to class, prior to entering the door even.
