We've had a week of beautiful weather, dry and sunny so we finally got to have a really good training session on Sunday afternoon; all except Gemma who was unfotunately working.
A very useful session, had a few ideas about re-structuring the teams at Rotherham in a couple of weeks so we'll see how that goes. The girls that have had pups (Lexie and Dottie) are both getting fitter and faster so hopefully they'll be back in form for Anglesey at Easter.
We did some chute training with Fly to work on improving her box turn (whish is non existant!); she is picking this up really well, it's going to take some time to transfer this improved technique to the box but it's progress!
We also ran both Squirrel and Jovi on the chute. I'm really pleased with JoJo's progress, she is now happily doing full runs over 9" hurdles although she hasn't quite figured out that there's an endless supply of tennis balls at the box end yet so I am having to throw the ball back to Simon each time, this si a common thing with dogs starting out and I'm confident that as she does more she will realise and become more box focused. Now to continue building this and start working on changeovers, we did a few very loose passes with Fly and she was fine.
Squirrel had her first tarining session since having the pups, she's come off the litter as 'fit as a flea' and was totally up for it, I don't think I've ever seen her run so fast so I was really pleased with her, even if we did have to have a 'victory lap' after every run! lol
All looking very promising for the start of the outdoor season next month. I will try and get some pics/videos at our next session.
