Zipper's first MACH points (and video links)
We had a really fun 4-day AKC trial just East of St. Louis this past
weekend. Zipper is really starting to put things together. In Standard, we're still having a bobble here and there, but he nailed 3 out of 4 Jumpers with Weaves runs for his first 3 MXJ legs and his first MACH points. He still needs two legs for his AX, and I'll be happy when that happens and we can start working toward Double Qs. I have a few things to work on, namely calling him into me and (yet still) front crosses, especially landing side front crosses. Twice he slid around the jump when I tried one. He and I both tend to like me handling from the rear, but I noticed a couple of spots where I was slowing up to let him get in front, which of course meant he slowed down too. On Thursday's Standard course I told myself NOT to call him from the tunnel to the table since I've never trained it. Did it anyway. Idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdordSHvpxk Jumpers was good even with slow weaves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdordSHvpxk Friday Standard, he finally, on the second try, really sped up his weaves and started slaloming. If I could get that on a first try... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEAlnStyLEY Saturday Standard was by far his worst and most stressy run. Dodging out at the aframe is one of his signs, but there was also just something on that side of the ring he wanted to get at, hence the dodge to the right after that first jump in the 270. But he nailed that very difficult opening sequence, which was a Q-killer. I have no idea what the teeter thing was about, he never does that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyDgljS-GYM |
