This weekends plans and ideas.......

The last two weekends i have been really trying to let my dogs take there weave entrances on there own and in some ways have forgotten about other bits of the puzzle that make up the jigsaw as such. The reason Gemma was jumping off her dog walk was because i am not used to her bumbling along it and the i get in front thinking it will hurry her and i start to panic as it doesn't feel normal. So my plan with Gemma is to actually try and run her how i would in training and then when i get to the down bit of the dog walk i walk down with her but i never do that at a show, numpty!!! Even if shes slow onto the dog walk i am going to try and wait back with her to get her confidence up as at home she has a fab dog walk. Jess i am going to concentrate on her weaves again although i do feel more confident know shes had a weekend and never missing them. I am also going to try and stop some of her silly mistakes that cost us a nice round. I can see when she switches off but she is also hard work when she knows people or dogs round the ring so i am going to try and keep this in mind and do my usual of wondering off with Jess when no ones watching. Diesel is just Diesel and i never ever go in with a game plan as along as shes having fun and i'm having fun that's all that matters. I keep threatening as soon as she goes under a fence she's going into anysize to save some money but she just keeps popping over the fences. I started feeding my dogs some Pet spec joint mobility from Top spec about a month ago and it seems it be doing Diesel very well and judging by the pictures of Gemma taken over the weekend its money worth spending. I like having things to concentrate on in the ring as one day it will all come together but gotta put the effort in know for the results later on.....
