Woo! First class for a WHILE, and Ezra's first agility class.
Ezra mastered his fear of the wobble board! It's the little things.
He still isn't quite on the boat in terms of understanding why, but he's starting to understand that doing things = food and praise! A couple stantion wraps, lots of recalling to heel, ran through a barrel, walked the plank and did some ladder work. All in all, he had a fantastic first day. He's interesting to work with because he's so.. mellow. It's difficult to get him excited about much. Kind of his personality, though.
Mimi was a superstar. Love this dog. Also, I like threadles. Lesson of the day is she demotivates easily (270*, certain wrap scenarios) and loses any oomph she has if I stop moving or decelerate too much. If I run her correctly, she does awesome. She's still a green dog, and I'm a green handler, but I'd say she's a fantastic shade of green.
After Ezra's class we did a couple run throughs with weaves (straight!). Once she gets tired, she'll pop the 10th pole every once and a while, but I'm not in a position to be worried. Starting on entries, though I'm not going to push her. She doesn't care for repetitive work, particularly when she gets it wrong I'm all for taking it slow!
