This is mainly for the beginning class but working our dogs actually applies to all of the classes. The only way for us to improve is to practice, practice, practice!!
Now that it is getting a little nicer weather and longer evenings, we need to think about working our dogs. We have many things to teach them yet contacts and weaves for example. Both are time consuming. This past week in class we were only able to cover 3 exercises we need to improve on this. Any suggestions welcomed. Part of the problem is dogs not getting home work done. We are all guilty of that. Over the next couple of months we are going to cover contacts and also keep up with other things. The next class will be a review of past weeks. If you would like a list of things let me know. Our dogs skills will only improve if we work the dogs outside of the class, Otherwise it will take forever for the dogs to learn the lessons we are trying to teach them. And they can not progress in class which also has an effect on everyone in class.
So with this said I am going take my own advise and do some homework with Ube.

Both Zorro and Chudleigh are competing up in Santa Rosa Saturday. If I had known there would be a class I would have entered the trial for Sunday.
