I added pressure by videoing, and actually using a score sheet. I just had to post this video of Maggie the Bernese Mountain Dog, and her handler Kim. Looking back on the video they should have gotten a perfect score, but I was being a hardass and took a point off for a crooked stand....
This dog went from being shut down and bored in class to having fun ALL THE TIME. She is so upbeat and her heeling is incredible. Kim has done a fantastic job training her, and I think that lots of people could learn from a team like Kim and Maggie.
On that note I am heading off to another agility trial this weekend- a semi local one (2 hours). Boone and Wicca are entered and I am feeling pretty optimistic about Boone this weekend. He had a great class this week and last week. Cross your fingers!
oh, and one more thing...
Happy Birthday to the most obnoxious dog around..
:o) It is Kaleb's (from digit, fetchit, herdit) 8TH Birthday today.

Kim & Maggie rock!! I love to watch Kim handle her dogs, still trying to learn to handle as well as her!
Thanks Amanda.
Maggie is a good girl (well most of the time).
Good luck this weekend.
