Morgan's Training

Although I did not train Morgan much at all this week, we did do a little agiltiy training on Friday. Morgan amazed me. She did the weave poles and did the weave poles and did the weave poles. She acted like they were the best thing she ever learned.  She is beginning to single step the weave poles. I think what is next for her is to move her to the second set of six poles but we will see if we get that same enthusiasm as we had on Friday.

She also handled a very small sequence beautifully, although neither Morgan nor Pen took the front cross I tried.  It shows me that they need more experience with the front cross before I move on.  My thinking is that I need more work on rear crosses but Sue Garret says not to do it until we have a dog who will drive through a jump.  Before they will drive through the jump, they have to get the foundation stuff first.  I always want to skip kindergarten but I know that it will just kick me in the but later on, making it so much harder, if I do.

I am cautiously optimistic about the March trial.
