Show and Go

We went over to Dog Logic today for a Show and Go. It was cold and a little wet but we had fun. They're very nice and always willing to help with a course.
They had a nested course and you could do novice or excellent. I had planned on trying both but I walked the excellent standard course first so we just stuck with that. Venus did great on her first run, no refusals, off courses, or knocked bars. Yay Bean! She didn't hold her dog walk contact so I made her go back and get on it. The 2nd to the last obstacle were the weave poles. She hit the entry fine, yay again. She then noticed the pretty tinsel on the tops of the weave poles and had to stop and check that out. As she got tired it got harder and harder to run that course. She really struggled with all the weaves after that and I'm not sure why. Maybe the spacing was different. She switched to hopping instead of single stepping and would end up hopping out of the poles.
The jumpers course didn't go as well. She was tired and wanting to be a velcro dog. We made it through though and it wasn't too bad. On that course she did want to enter on the wrong side of the weaves though. I really need to work on that.
At the end of the day I found out that the courses were from the 2005 world championships. The jumpers was kinda different but the standard was set up mostly the same. Here's a link to that coure map. 2005 Large Team

I will try and work weaves in the next two days and get some new video up.
