Mid October and still training without coats, hats and gloves I think I could get used to this. Some amazing work from our foundation group, Bracken the Dandie Dinmont bought his agility mojo with him this week and was a star. Bess the Labrador joined the group and took everything in her stride and proved to be a natural, especially when it came to starting to learn her contact position.
We'd set up another challenging course for our beginner group with difficult weave entry and a couple of tunnel traps. Pauline and Harry tried handling the sequence several different ways to see which worked best for them. Morse proved that he's more than capable working the trickier courses, and keeping those pesky poles up even though we've raised them to nearly full height.

For Monty, being thrown in the deep end and moving up to the beginner class, the sequence was broken down into smaller sections so that we could reward everything that he got right and he didn't disappoint :-) Its so much better to set the dogs up for success rather then failure and he really is developing a good wait.
Roll on next week!
