Obedience

It was a good night at Vesey St. Ann brought Basco, Jojo had to work through training, courtesy of the concrete being delivered late and having to finish the pour..

I worked Aron in some basic heel stuff, focusing on his position and attention. Then I oved to a couple retrieves, then a voraus for the ball. the second voraus I didnt leave the ball down and called Platz. He was a bit confused as he slowly sank intoa down and then I threw him the ball. I repeated a simple voraus to the ball to reinforce the speed and decrease the anticipation.

He was good considering the 4 horses that showed up to ride in the main ring while we were training.

Dad

Well its been a crazy month. Cup Match got in the way of training for the weekend, then was the weekend of torrential rainfall, and somewhere in there was the emergency trip to West Virginia.

For those of you who know my Dad: he is doing better and should be back on the island this weekend.

We are back to training now, finally.. The Sports Fair is coming soon. It is a huge event taking the whole of Front St, every sport imaginable is represented, there is even powerboat and jet ski racing in the harbour. tennis games on the street, darts, dogs and go-karts.... the list goes. on and on... Last year we had a blast and even had some TV time with Aron going over the A-Frame.

Tracking

Sunday at Southside in the rain.....

Ann brought Basco and we ran a couple a good tracks in the downpour.

Aron did a straight track at 15mins with two articles and did well. The second track was at a little more than 30mins with two corners and he did ok, but was losing either concentration or the scent. I'm leaning towards concentration.
