Good Big Boy!

Just had an ace little 10-minute training session with Tim on this lovely spring evening. Set all jumps at full height this time and did various things - some twisty-turny, some blasty, some close work, some long sendaways/recalls - and he didn't duck under once!!! Last couple of sessions he's managed about 80% success, even with varying jump heights, but this time 100% Big Boy Jumps! He seems to be getting his striding and shape in the air much better, what a good lad - and so happy and pleased with himself. The next step is to improve on his jumping before the obstacles which most attract his eyes down - he's not too bad going into weaves, A-frame and dogwalk, but the seesaw and tunnels, especially the cloth tunnel, he very often charges under to get to. A plank on the ground will have to do instead of a seesaw, and will bodge up a quick-assembly tunnel to add to our little bag of portable gear. We have a Plan ...
