Thank you to Matthew Goodliffe our guest trainer for last Saturday, for giving us a brilliant day of training :-)
We also had two workshops Sunday morning; one for those clever enough to qualify for Olympia, and one building weave skills for those dogs working towards independent weaves at who are not quite at the upright pole stage. In the first Olympia workshop we worked on some things that are specific to that final. Everyone was looking really good and we had a really fab couple of hours, some people came away with some specifics to work on that we will hone in the second workshop in December, but overall a very positive bit of training. Great to welcome Dave Munnings and Dan Shaw who were working their young dogs there as well. In the second workshop we worked on weaves using channels and 2x2's, made some really good progress, with all the dogs building motivation and drive for the weaves and showing some really nice (and fast!) weave action. A great weekend of training, and thank goodness we have an indoor venue, the rain lashed down!! I feel so much happier knowing there is less risk of dogs slipping or falling in our lovely indoor venue, especially now that winter is upon us (of course it is much more pleasant for the handlers too!) :-)
