Jazz obedience update

As some of you know i have been having major problems with Jazz especially in her training. For those of you who don't know i haven't been able to do agility training with her for a couple of months now and i have also had to stop the obedience although she does enjoy this more then agility!

Lately she has been alot more confident in herself and has been very playful etc... Today i brought her a new Sphericon dog ball which she LOVES!!! So this is her new training toy =)

Anyway... Tonight i took her up to obedience training (I must admit i was anxious because i didn't know how she would react) Janet kindly offered to give me 1-2-1 lesson's each week which is better for Jazz. We did little excercises to keep Jazz's attention on me and doing excercises with no hand signals! Jazz was really enjoying herself, i am training everything on the clicker which i am re-introducing to her. At the end of the session we done heelwork, one word to sum it up 'AMAZING'. Her head was high up and she was really prancing and taking big strides she looked stunning!


We had been thinking about whether to take Jazz to Crufts for a while and we have finaly come to the decision to....... TAKE HER =D. I am very happy to be with my 2 girls at Crufts next year (As Angel is doing the Good Citizen gold display on the Saturday & Sunday) So i have Jazz on the Thursday and Angel on the Saturday & Sunday.

We have now booked the hotel and flights we are staying in the Novotel which is right opposite Birmingham airport and is 5mins away from Crufts! http://www.novotel.com/gb/hotel-1158-novotel-birmingham-airport/index.shtml

So lots and lots of training to do to prepare for Crufs - especially with Jazz for the YKC Starters Obedience competition!
