AKC - Manhattan, IL

Whew, talk about a windy weekend!!!

It was just Rumor this weekend. He had some good moments, but it was definitely noticeable that we haven't trained much lately. Ooops.

Sat: Our FAST class started with not holding an a-frame, so I did more training than anything else. Rumor got the send, but I ended up pulling (which I shouldn't have done b/c I think we Qed) because he just wasn't working with me. Rumor's Std course had some mistakes made by me and some by him... We started well, but I pulled off a panel (twice! grrr) so he pulled off it twice too... that was definitely my fault. His a-frame was gorgeous... his teeter and dogwalk... not so much. He released himself on the teeter and he just launched off the dogwalk! Naughty boy. His 1st Open JWW run was pretty respectable. We definitely worked better together as a team.

Sun: Our FAST class was so windy I didn't want to put Rumor on any contacts. It was an easy send that we got a refusal on so we just did some jumps and left. Oh well. I pulled him from Open JWW b/c it was so windy at that point it wasn't even worth running. Rumor's Std run didn't last all that long... little man got pulled again. He wasn't staying (I should have pulled him) at the start and then he launched off the dogwalk again. That was the end of his run... stinker.

I think it's time I make sure to put some effort in and actually train -- so, I will probably go to class twice this week... both boys could use it.
