Winter training

Well for now Rupert and I are concentrating on Obedience, Obedience, Obedience!! we have qualified for the KCGC Special Pre beginner stakes semi finals which are held at Discover Dogs at Earls court on Saturday 12th November. Training is going very well at the moment, I've been taking him up to the local retail park after work to work him with the distractions of different lights, sounds and people using the shop windows as mirrors. I do get the odd funny look, but Hey ho!
Amy and Summer are still enjoying their agility training with the Chipping Norton club, and we hope to really get stuck into running contact training over the winter, we have just taken delivery of our Plastic A Frame with Rubber contacts so we are set to go and I've been using Dawn Weavers interactive online training which is brilliant, She emails you the links to short training video's and you email her back video's of your progress for her to comment on which are available from her website www.dawnweaveragility.com . We've also had to have our weaves altered to the new 2ft spacing so we can get plenty of practice at those over the coming months.
So much to do, I really cant wait to get stuck in.
