We Did It Again!!!!

We Won!!!! Taz did it again. A beautiful round and a first win at Nov Steeplechase. The weaves were much better as well - there is light at the end of the tunnel; it's a very long tunnel but there is definately a glimmer at the end of it.
Dylan did some very nice work for me as well. He used to do lots of rubbish with a few really good bits thrown in now it's the other way round. Still having trouble with straight lines though.
We are competing again at the weekend - infact we are staying in a friends camper tent so that will be a new experience for both me and the dogs. Will report back later.

Still Trying

We have been practising hard this week to try to help Taz to weave. He seemed unable to weave at all now - couldn't even do it in training. He used to have a lovely one step action but now his legs are all over the place - he really is having a crisis at the moment. So we have gone right back to the beginning and got the channel weaves out for him - we are now back to being able to do it in training but it remains to see if he can do it in the competition ring. We will find out on Saturday; as this is when our next comp is. Still doing the straight lines with Dyl - he can do them beautifully if I am not moving but as soon as I run - he herds me!!
