Agility

Okay Mom clearly doing something wrong with the jumping. Neither of  Sue or I will take the jump across (I know that is not the right term) her body. Where she wants us to jump and turn the opposite way from where she is standing...we both just stop and stare at her. We also have been practicing the jump training at the neutral position and the recall to heel. Mom needs to put that to a verbal cue of "heel" because we  have been conditioned to "come front" when she recalls us. She also lowered the jump to 16" for Sue and 18" for Holly until she feels like we are getting this. I actually took to the neutral jump training faster than Sue. That's right... better than the "super dog" Sue. I enjoy being out there working on this stuff so much that I have to run around the yard at full speed for 5 minutes before we can get any work done. Mom doesn't seem to think this is as funny as I do.  We have done little contact training, and Mom think I will freak on the wobble board, so I guess we need to get started on practicing with that.
