Back to life, back to agility

Shame on me. I was too jet-lagged to go to the agility show on Saturday but I did make it to our usual Sunday club training. It was great to see the gang again after Christmas. I was a bit rusty, but Jake was most patient and by the end our turns were much slicker. We went home tired but with several exercises planned out for the next couple of weeks.
What we’ll be doing is variations on
And variations on the two jump minuet which we’ve been practising during the holidays.
Plus practising entry to the weave, of course. Though when I trusted Jake to do it he was fine. When I tried to direct him I confused him. The dug kens whit tae dae.
I've been watching clips of people practising all this stuff – I’m training myself to watch the handlers as much as the dogs, cos I am the weakest link. First the two jump drill on Agility Nerd and then Chi, one of the OBay Shelties. I had to mute the laptop as Chi’s excited barking woke Jake from his otherwise heavy slumber at my side on the sofa.

Glad you back having fun with practice! We love those two and three jump exercises. I hope to be jumping in a week! Yeah, Woofs, Johann
Paws crossed you're back in the game soon, Johann!
Those jumps look fun! My human tried to teach me to jump over something in the basement last week. I cheated a bit and used my front paws to boost myself up and then I'd jump.
Good luck with all the practicing. :)
Hi Jake,
I came across your blog searching the DWB list. I was looking for rescue pups!
I've been taking agility with my beagle, Marvin, for 15 weeks and was really happy to see your jump practices here. I made two PVC jumps and weave poles for practicing at home and I'm really excited to try these exercises.
Anyway, my beagles have given you an award ... please stop by our blog to check it out!
Jackie, Diesel, and Marvin
