I never told you how well she did last Friday night, did I? After practicing on our contacts on Thursday, she nailed them all on our run-thrus on free Friday. Instead of running the entire course, I broke it up into sections to keep her focus. This worked pretty well.Tonight she started out great. We did dogwalk to a right pinwheel. see diagram 9.4.7b.
Then a jump (facing the right side of a tunnel) to the left tunnel and out towards a right-turn vertical - it kinda looks like a bow tie. see diagram 9.4.7a.
The next exercise is where she lost it... the dogwalk and uturn to tunnel... she ran down the dogwalk and ran off to visit the dogs next door... :( see diagram 9.4.7c
then we switched sides.... on the other side we nailed our 12 weaves, the oxer and the a-frame. no diagram needed. she is picking up speed thru her weaves all on her own. :)
so, in a nutshell, she was good when she was good and very badly behaved the rest of the time... it reminds me of that children's rhyme about a girl with a curl right in the middle of her forehead!
Rosie suggested I bring a water pistol or spray bottle with me next week... it may just work.
