Agility goals for 2009

This time last year we'd been to a couple of non-Kennel Club agility shows, and I was psyching us up for going to play with the big boys and girls. Here we are a year later, and we've been to several (by no means all) of the east of Scotland shows. Jake is halfway to his bronze agility warrant and we could progress to grade 2 on points if we want ... I'm so proud of the Heinz from the dogs home.
Here's what I want us to work on this year.
- Pull-throughs, pull-throughs, pull-throughs.
- Keeping Jake chilled round the agility shows. (Cheek by jowl with stranger dogs never his favourite; at least we now understand how the shows operate and how to manage Jake's experience).
- We'll be working on those weaves ... again. For ever, probably!
- Contacts need to both reliable and at speed - not either/or.
- Distance work.
- Coping with Jake's inner speed demon.
I personally need to practise my turns, making clear signals, and er, my own sprinting.
