That's great that Malcolm did so well. Can't wait to hear more. <BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, JoJo learned the 'easy' command from me in an unusual way. When I would walk him, (this was before we even knew about agility), he would pull like crazy and I would say 'easy'. <BR/><BR/>Then when we got into agility, and he started bailing contacts, and totally wouldn't accept 2o2o's I started saying 'easy'. Worked like a charm, he would recognize his stride, be more alert and focus more on what he was doing. <BR/><BR/>Wouldn't recommend teaching a dog 'easy' that way by any means - but we just took what we had and worked with it. We're still using it, and in many different situations.Johann The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676712437788270947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311674999329803953.post-65441237522233725342007-09-24T10:31:00.000-07:002007-09-24T10:31:00.000-07:00Wheeee..... indeed.

Of course, doesn't make me any less proud that Malcolm ran the damn thing, but you're right, there was no way to handle this with a fast dog. <BR/>Everything fast NQ'd. Most at the 9-10-11 sequence. And I'm never entering a trial again when this guy's judging.Umahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938652230384457122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311674999329803953.post-822703046593478022007-09-24T05:42:00.000-07:002007-09-24T05:42:00.000-07:00I have looked at that course 3 times, just to be s...I have looked at that course 3 times, just to be sure I had the sequence correct. I've never seen anything like that in the states. I can't imagine getting a dog around it without heeling it most of the way. With a fast dog....wheeeeee!<BR/><BR/>Was anyone successful with fast dog? <BR/><BR/>/amyAmy Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243610775853872002noreply@blogger.com
