Nashville Dog Training Club Trial - January 28, 2011
Day 2 Run 2 - Open Standard
This was a run that we wish we could forget. We had 1 wrong course, 1 refusal, 1 table fault, and an elimination for leaving the ring. I'm glad there is always tomorrow.

Day 2 Run 1 - Excellent B Jumpers with Weaves
What a run! This is really fun. Nina dropped her very first bar during this run. I didn't give her enough forward momentum to complete the jump before I signaled to turn. Her back foot clipped the bar. She is now running faster and a bit more efficiently! What a girl!

Day 1 Run 2 - Open Standard
Great run! Too bad we had to skip the teeter for now. That's another story.

Look for terrible handler error at jump #3. Rest of run was very nice.
Wow! Do I have a lot to learn!

Interesting Teeter Idea
To speed up slow dogs on teeter. First of all you need two teeters and one must be adjustable. First use just the adjustable one on the lowest or next to lowest level. Do this low teeter a bunch of times in a row over and over. Getting faster each time, since it's low it's easier and less scary and they will soon be getting pretty fast.
Now you bring out the 2nd teeter and place it a little ways straight in front of the first teeter and at full height. Now run the first short teeter and straight to the 2nd full size teeter. And do this a few times. Now supposedly this method somehow works by muscle memory, which does make sense to me.
I think it will most likely work best on just a slow moving dog not a dog that has a real teeter phobia but who know maybe it would work on them too. I guess the idea is by doing the little teeter over and over and over really fast. The dogs muscles get used to that speed and then when you stick the bigger teeter in front you should get the same speed. It's worth a try.

I have learned some drills that should help build up speed and straightness.
