Flying Poodles

Back to training

When I went out to my barn time on Monday, to do some training for the first time in almost a month, my only goal was to get Dancer motivated to work with me and run fast. I took her new favorite toy. She spent 15 minutes happily chasing and tugging and doing the occasional obstacle, and then she was done. It was hot and dusty and she wasn’t interested in doing one more thing. We went home.

Of course I spent Tuesday obsessing that she wouldn’t want to do agility at our Tuesday night class either… but she was fine, never losing focus, very in tune with me.

I am taking the summer off from trialing to focus on training and the house. My current plan is to trial next in early September.
