Back to life, back to agility

Our club has started winter training on Sunday lunchtimes (in the summer we practise on Tuesday evening, not really an option when the nights start drawing in). After having September off it was fun to see everyone and to catch up on news and successes - Glen (border collie) had got a 9th place at the Dundee show, and Danny (another border collie) a 1st place in a grade so high we will never see it ;-)
In spite of frosty roofs first thing this morning it was scorching sunshine by the time we set up the equipment! We were all a bit hot and bothered. Even so, Jake ran really well. We spent an intensive hour working on two things - turns, and also getting contacts at speed.
In this sequence we ran the loop (starting with the weave) several times. Then we put in some turns
A-B-C-D-B and on to the A frame and the rest of the circuit
A-B-(back of)D-(back of C)-D-B and on to the A-frame and the rest of the circuit.
The other sequence we worked on was on similar lines.
When we got home I gave Jake an isotonic drink. He lapped it up with great gusto and promptly crashed out on the rug in a patch of sun. H'm, not quite the effect advertised on the packaging, though I'm sure it did him good.
