Plus, he is focused on you and fast! Makes me want to get out and work on agility. I like your outfit!

I enjoyed watching your dog make those mistakes and the fact that you never gave up after trials. That goes along way to say practice make perfect. & BTW, your outfit wasn't that ridiculous - it's weekend (& in your backyard?) which means anything could have been forgiven :-) Thanks again Thanks for sharing progress in Video form.

It was good to see you work through the little issues! My (unasked for!) 2 cents would be to consider where you use shoulder pulls/post turns. They tend to cue extension and that was what was happening when your pup went of course. The shoulder pull also keeps the handler stationary and a lot of dogs don't react to it by staying close to the handler. If you can use more motion and/or crosses (to keep moving) instead I think your dog will stay cued into you better. I've found the more I move the more my dog looks to see what I'm indicating as the next thing. Thanks! .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/courses/misc/2009_FCI_championships.html" rel="nofollow">2009 FCI Championship Course Diagrams</a> =-.
