During
the course of this year our young dogs have been introduced to quite a few
agility moves and groves. Some of which
either the dogs and or handlers are not proficient at yet, but both have been
introduced to the move, or piece of equipment.
I am going to list a few of the things that the dogs have been
introduced to this year.
Send to the crate; sent to the tunnel; front cross, rear cross, lead
out pivot; serpentine, 270 turn, treadle, go’s, tug on table, pinwheels of all
shapes and sizes; teeter training, tug on contacts, tight turns, loopy turns,
tire, broad jump, triple jump, all sorts of jump grids, transitions –
acceleration, deceleration; box work, focus ahead, 180 turn check, side, close,
one jump exercised call offs, etc………………………………… Whew, I’m tired from just listing
some of the things we did this year!!!!
Let’s not
forget the WEAVE POLES!!!! Many, many
accomplishments. Be proud of yourself
and your dog, you have done a great job. We can no longer refer to this class
as the beginning class they are now called the Scooby-Do class, because we can do.
In 2012 we will tackle CONTACTS.
What will the year 2012 hold, only things
that dreams are made of…… Many more
happy days of training to you and your dog(s).
The advanced class will continue working on and improving
both the dogs skills and the handlers. So that both of you are comfortable with any move necessary in a trial situation.

Wow, no WONDER I am tired, I was afraid it was because of too many birthdays lol! It HAS been a great year and Rollo has accomplished a LOT for a conformation dog.
We must have missed some classes where the teeter was taught though because he is unsure of himself unless he is just banging it.
Christy - I'm puzzled by your comment. My calendar notes show that we began tippy board training in July of 2010! In Jan 2011 we worked the teeter from a table to the box on Jan 19 and continued teeter training on and off throughout the year. It is impossible to work everything each week, that's why we encouraged everyone to have a travel plank so they can work at home.
Sydney, I think the problem is me. I was thinking a full competition height teeter, which he is not doing yet. Rollo is great with his tippy board and cheerfully does a knee high teeter at home. He just needs to be worked up in increments. Being my first tiny dog to train, maybe he is more sensitive to "altitude" than the boxers were.
