    yes, her regular jump height is 8″. I have been doing most of my training at 4″ and working on jump grids at 4″ with the occasional 6 or 8″. My plan for the CPE and UKI trials was to enter her at 4″.
    Looking forward to the speed circles with weaves.

    Hi,
    A little behind, worked week 3 sequences and more LB game this week.
    She has been super happy and fairly fast in practice, I have put her in an actual class starting on Wednesday and I’ll be interested to see how she does.
    We have also been working our starts outside of agility, forgot video will try to get some this week. She is great with just me (no toys, food) play, there are a couple of CPE and UKI trials I plan to enter her in February to see where we are at.

    more LB game, trying for a little more distance. She really does like this;

    sequence, she was perfect and happy first time so we quit.

    Here is a video of a jumpers run from earlier in December.

    I want to say yes, but thinking about it probably not very much in practice and it is usually in the same spot at trials.

    I think the draw for the in/out gate is the reward outside the ring. I have always had her bunny pocket waiting and she pulls me toward it once we leave the ring. .

    Thanks! Yes I was very happy with her speed, most of our issues are at trials usually at the start or where we turn away from the in/out gate. I’ll try to find more examples. I have also entered one day of a CPE trail on the the 12th.
    I am really liking her starts, she has been eager to go.

    Week 3 focus forward;

    and sequences;

    you can wee where I didn’t connect out of the tunnel and then when we restarted she was more hesitant;

    Vacation over……
    by working on her jumping; she has a tendency to overjump, and likes to put down the landing gear early. we have been doing lots of jump grids, etc..

    week 2
    reinforcement station, I am using bunny pocket on a little stool, I do use it at trails. This may have gotten a little long….

    lazy bastard game, we have done this before. I do think her jumping issue shows up here more.

    Week 1 lessons;

    I have the jumps set low as I am working on her jumping form…
    also, tunnels are not her favorite, she tends to bank and flip.

    we did not get to set up #2.
