Today was another good training day for MeiLi. We got three turns on this fun course, and she was able to complete my planned course each time. No video of the first run but we did get the second two. She was very focused and did not react to the other dogs at all. The gate was open on one of the runs and she ran out of the ring but returned to me when I called her which is HUGE! She gave me a good start line on two of the three runs. I was very proud of the first since we had just come into the building when it was our turn. She was very excited coming in but still managed to focus. She even got to play some “Go See” with Betsi rewarding her for visiting and me calling her back. She was able to set up at the start jump while the other students removed the gates at the weaves. She continues to struggle with tight turns and commitment to obstacles but that is understandable since she has never really run with obstacles at full spacing and a full head of steam. I mixed things up a little bit on each course just to make sure she was listening to me. On the last run she developed some issues doing the dogwalk. I am hoping that is just a temporary setback as we have done very little contact work. But it is something to keep an eye on. We are so enjoying our class.
