We spent a lovely Xmas and New Year with my Family down in Dorset. The dogs all had a great time playing with each other non stop every day.
I even had some time, with Wanda's help to do some serious weave practice with Reno. I bought a set of 12 stick in the ground weaves and set them up in a channel. Keeping it fast and fun, by the end of the holiday he was going through the full set with a channel of about 4" and finding the entry. Unfortunately we haven't been able to practice them since!
Reno started his new class with Jo Rhodes when we came home and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is very focused on his toy - ok probably a little too focused! My homework is to improve his release command. Although we are going back to basics in this class and the one we started at NADTC last Friday I feel that it is really going to benefit us.
The weather has been interesting in Nottingham, as I guess it has everywhere else. It started snowing last Monday and then snowed on and off until Thurday. Then, as it has been so cold the snow hung about over the weekend.
I've really struggled to keep lessons going as I'm so limited to the area's I can take people to. On the plus side I've had lots of nice doggie time.
I have to confess to not being very confident with 3 Dogs on leads with frozen pavements so have been walking them separately and then playing with them in the garden.
Luckily they had a chance for a play in the snow together when I took them swimming on Friday.
Sunday was Agility Nuts show that went ahead despite the weather. Acutually the roads weren't that bad and we had a nice early finish.
I judged Snakes and Ladders. Thank you to everyone for their kind comments about the course. Glad you all enjoyed it. I'm not sure when I will next be judging a Nuts (Paul hasn't asked/told :) me yet) but I'm already looking forward to it.
The weather has been really strange today. When Ade and I went out to the Cars we thought that they were wet but it turned out that they were covered with a really thick layer of ice and the road was completely covered with black ice - even where it had been gritted.
It is now sleeting very heavily on top of the ice. I don't even want to know how slippery it is!! I'm hoping I can get out to my pupils for their lessons this evening!!
