Walk In The Woods!!...

This afternoon i took Angel & Jazz to the woods. Angel was enjoying herself trying to get to the ducks who were the other side of the HUGE pond haha! Angel doesnt like getting her paws wet so there was no chance of her going to see the ducks. I wouldnt let her get a duck obviously even though i don't think she would actually catch one i wouldnt take the risk (poor ducks)

Well were do i start with Jazz hmmm.... she was running and running oh and running! She never stops at the moment she is trying to swim but only in little puddles. She goes into a shallow bit of water and lays down and starts paddling haha! I think she is teaching herself to swim starting in the shallow end and making her way up (she isnt very keen on the actually sea yet)

I managed to get some nice photo's of the two of them so here they are..

Jazz & Angel

Jazz

Angel

Funny Pics...

I coudnt resist taking these photo's of Jazz when she was trying to get out into the garden, by licking the door... She usually lay's with her nose squashed at the door and with her mouth pressing against the glass (strange puppy) haha

Her usual pose! (SMILE)

Cleaning the door for us!

Jazz Agility - Small Course

I went to agility training with Jazz this afternoon and we had a go at a small course, it was quite nice and flowing except the entrance into the pipe tunnel but she handled the course extremely well :)

I videod Jazz's 3 run's today, i was really pleased with her because she listened really well to all my command's and is now starting to run on ahead of me and looking for the next obsatcle.

You can see she really wants to do her agility by when she is on the start line she is so fixed looking at the course lol. The second you say GO!! she's off.


Here is the video of her running a small course :) ...

Jazz Obedience Training

I havent done any obedience training with Jazz for quite a while, so tonight i decided to train her! She is doing really really well and i need all the training i can get ready for next Crufts :)

She still needs loads of training.

In her heelwork she can be to pushy! On straight lines she is really pushing hard against my leg and tries to race ahead of me so i am turning her back round to make her more steady!

Her recalls are coming along nicely, the only bit that needs work is her coming faster when she is released.

All she will need to do for her class in Crufts is...

• Left hand circle of heelwork
• Right hand circle of heelwork
• Recall (No finish)

So i am purticualy working on these excercises!

Here is a video of her training tonight..

GSD Agility Show!!

Well all i can say is i am very proud of Angel, she ran her little socks of today usually she only runs fast in training and not in shows i thought maybe she gets ring shy. But today she worked really really well for me!

There were 4 classes and she didnt have any faults through out the whole day (what a good girl)

Angel Practising her weaves....

I have been practising Angel's weaves for the agility show tomorrow because she sometimes doesnt get her weave entry. I was sending her into the weaves by herself whilst i stood still, and she is doing really well (hopefully she will do the weaves like on the video tomorrow) Her weaves are so much quicker then they used to be, she use to walk and sniff through them so im really pleased on how they have improved :)

She is now doing right and left hand weaves but she is still not as experienced on the right hand side yet so tomorrow i will be sticking to the left hand weaves!


Here is a little video of Angel weeeaaavvving....

Jazz Agility Training - Nearly 11 Months

I took Jazz training today she is going to be 11 months old in 5 days.

I am now training her on the dog walk and see-saw, she is getting her contacts nicely especially as she has only just started.

I am also doing quite alot of grid work for her pacing.

I am struggling to keep up with her now as you can see in the video! So i am starting to train her in distance control, as you can see in the video there are mistakes because im not faster enough, so hopefully she can work ahead of me soon! I am trying to keep up the best i can and she isnt even running her fastest yet so i deffently need distance control haha!


Here is a video of Jazz training today..
