We got home just in time for puppy visitors, lovely people who chose one of Lori's boys. Just one boy left to find a home from Lori's litter now. They're are a lovely bunch of pups. I can't believe how quiet they are, it really doesn't feel like we have 9 of them in the kitchen. They're just really happy, contented puppies. Must get some new piccies of both litters!

What a time you are having. We hope all goes well for you this week. I have never used a lead for agility training. Cockers hate it and I feel it gets a message of stay by me. I use a ball for with me and throw go on away form me. Teal might enjoy this. I've used it for jumps, run contacts and weaves. Keep the ball with you when she needs to focus on you and throw when she needs to go on and you can build up direction. I use the flyball harnass and a lead handle for initial contacts - only used once on each with Magic, never with Rupert. Magic wants to see his mum do agility!!!
I never use a lead for training anything apart from the first few times they do the contact equipment. She's already been running down a line of jumps to a target toy but in this sort of class situation the first couple of weeks does involve lead work, I'm sure she'll be better once we move outside. She's a very bright and attentive little dog so off lead work won't be a problem for her. What she hasn't really 'got' yet is that the jumps are there to be jumped, if you know what I mean. She jumps them at the moment because they happen to be between her and her toy but I'm sure this will come with more jumping work at home.
