So, Zoey's doing great. We didn't trial much this summer, sadly, since I was working, and didn't have weekends off, but with the trials we did get to, we made success. Zoey's first trial of the season at 16 inches was awful, so she was lowered down to 10 inches in specials. With that, she's doing GREAT! Her last trial of the year was really good - no Q's, but I don't care - and I'm very excited to work on crosses, handling, and focus this winter, and then see how we do next year.
As for Psyche, my little wonder dog, she's doing AMAZING! She's now doing sequences, including front and rear crosses, her a-frame isn't quite full height yet, and her dog walk's still lowered, she does the full teeter with a nice 2o2o that I can run past her on, and she's doing really well with her 2o2o on all of the contact equipment.
Her distance work is coming along VERY nice, and so is her... everything! I know, I know, I'm bragging, but I love how much this dog LOVES to learn!
She hasn't started weaves yet, but we're hoping to soonish. (She turned a year old the first week of October) She's going to be doing the 2x2 method, and a friend and I will be watching the DVDs together, plotting, and then she's going to help me out. (she's the trainers daughter at our agility club, and runs an amazing sheltie).
Anywho, that's what's going on. We're hoping to have Psyche and Zoey both trialing next year, and also my mom's dog Tink, since mom got a job with all weekends off (YAY!) and I'm going for a job where I'd get weekends off...
We're doing well, if I do say so myself.
