What Pixel is working on these days...

Weaves- her weaves are getting SO good. Great actually. She rarely pops out and has a good rhythm. i've been proofing for popping, and started some tough weave entries...

Jumping- we've been doing lots of jumping in the yard and she is much better- no more funky chicken. :)

Contacts- last week i brought out the manners minder for the frame and worked on getting more speed. it helped- last night she was super. She had her first ever fly off on the teeter. not sure what she was thinking! she recovered and was fine, but for a minute she was super pixel! She still needs work on her dogwalk however- I think she is a little confused about the difference between running and stopping. I will be going back to backchaining for a little bit.

Jump Patters- awesome. She can do a threadle much better than her sister. :) She is very responsive and recognizes all of the standard jump patterns.

Running Fast- seriously we train this! lol. Lots of fun circle games, and acceleration to toys and the manners minder, and other very exciting things. She was pretty fast in class last night so something must be working!

Obedience wise we've been working on stand for exams, and stays. Not too exciting, but has to be done! I'd like to try for her CD soonish...maybe in the fall.
