I'm such an idiot I completely forgot to blog about all the things I've done with the dogs and work since I got back for Winter Break (December 14th...I know bad girl) time to play catch up. Well let's see here...ah well Ellie and I have started our training towards a CDX my goal is always to win first place while remaining in the 190s getting a H.I.T (High In Trial) is a bonus although as Roxanne likes to lovingly remind me "why reach for the moon when you could strive for the sun, moon, and the stars sure you may not get them all but you'll still have the moon and the stars *wise smile*" I try to remind myself of that anytime I feel down and in that barely passing but still decent phase. I also am working Scout a Labrador towards his CD title it was my accident how it got started but honestly I've really got to thank him he gave me "the itch" so to speak to train properly again. All it takes is one obnoxious dog and you have you can ignite an inspirational fire. Hopefully if Margot let's me I can put a title on him as well as Ellie I'm game he's game let's get my permission slip signed :)
Ellie and I are working specifically on straight fronts, broad jump, and retrieve over the high jump. All are progressing wonderfully, I was a little annoyed we had to lower the jumps to 4" but I just kept telling myself it's for training purposes it won't stay like this she's a smart dog....but I don't have to like it so I'll suck it up and do it anyway reluctantly after all Margot know's what she's doing I mean you don't have over 40 years of experience and a bazillion titles and training other people to get those titles and not called one of the best and possibly last great dog trainers in America without something to show for it. He went well Ellie and I didn't work as much as I would have liked, damn you monthly visits from my red headed cousin frickin hate her!, she always punches me in the stomach when we greet each other the first day after that were all good haha. Anyhow Tiny was being totally annoying by not letting me put things on him which I was determined to fix but we were in a hurry so I gave up...for now *insert evil laugh*
Well that's all for now tune in next time ^_^
P.S I'm working a back to back double New Years eve and New Years day how shitty is that wish me luck I don't die of fatigue
