A new blog

I had some problems with my old blog, so I decided to make a new one.
I actually couldn´t add the dates of my posts anymore, but because the blog
should be a kind of a progress diary I have to see the dates.
Sorry for the trouble.

Contacts

Yesterday we had our last lesson for beginners and today we already had our first training in our new group.
Yesterday we passed our first jumping cours. Nine hurdels and two tunnels.
Emma did a great job, although I messed the changes at the beginning.
She always forgives me my mistakes, that makes it a lot easier for me.
Today we trained with our new group. They are all very nice and started with agility
last year, so we were the newbies. But Emma did such a good job ! She took every hurdle
she was supposed to and she ran through every tunnel I wanted her to run through.
Then we started to train her contacts. After a few tries she stood in the position and knew
what I wanted her to do.
Tomorrow we will train again. So three days in a row.

Training so far

The last trainings (including today) we concentrated on handling.
Today we learned the French change, last week we learend the Belgium change.
But Emma is most of the time too fast for me. So today we often bumped together, when
I tried to change the side. I guess we (I ) have to go jogging at least twice a week to get more condition and to learn running together with my dog without running into each other.
Emma also refined jumping through the hoop.
And of course we are still training her weaves.

I´m courious how we´ll improve till summer :)
And then we are finally able to train 3 times a week. Yeah . :D
