Just work them at home.<br /><br />Do you have places you can hike with the dogs off leash?Morgannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185607903093272777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-63421234796933025362010-03-06T17:27:57.813-08:002010-03-06T17:27:57.813-08:00I hope Breeze feels better soon.

Keep us updated on how she does when you begin getting nice weather again! <br /><br />I remember how hard the bend grids were for Wall-e when he was a puppy. He loved straight-line grids though, of course. Cricket looked great on the grids, and was really extending so well through the straight-line grid! She's going to be such a good jumper.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986443645823408698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-39592029870539649092010-03-06T13:28:35.415-08:002010-03-06T13:28:35.415-08:00Nice work, Cricket!

Glad to know it really has helped the other dog with the back issues-that has been my feeling that it would help...Kathy Mocharnukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029142726866533193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-73260168603275825452010-03-06T04:48:29.438-08:002010-03-06T04:48:29.438-08:00Yes, sorry to hear about Breeze's ongoing prob...Yes, sorry to hear about Breeze's ongoing problems - I sure hope warmer weather helps! <br /><br />Cricket does look great with her jump bumps - amazing how fast she's learning!Chris and Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052668808100244423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-25575628118008710332010-03-06T04:14:36.106-08:002010-03-06T04:14:36.106-08:00Wow, Cricket looks great! she is so focused and r...Wow, Cricket looks great! she is so focused and really wants that toy. You're doing a wonderful job with her. Sorry about Breeze. Maybe she just needs a break from agility. I take Guiness hiking a lot and he really seems to like that and its really a workout. I dont know how far you are from the beach but that can be a lot of fun too.

I hope the warm weather changes things. Out of curiosity what size weaves do you use? We just started using 24" weaves in class and a dog who has somewhat chronic back issues and often refuses to weave has shown a HUGE improvement. He never refuses weaves now. (He is a vizsla.) I know with Bug given the long back and the hip I am looking forward to when all the venues change to 24".<br /><br />Cricket looks great!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511336288459622767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-6530488799764729182010-03-06T03:33:44.774-08:002010-03-06T03:33:44.774-08:00I'm so sorry to hear about Breeze.

Hopefully, Breeze will feel a bit better when the weather improves.<br /><br />Cricket looks like she is having a blast with the jump bumps!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715453703592474992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-91697513736805161082010-03-05T18:25:02.413-08:002010-03-05T18:25:02.413-08:00It's too bad herding isn't closer to home....It's too bad herding isn't closer to home. I know you do a lot of it with Liz, too - I can't imagine doing it with both of them, it would probably be a lot for you! Hopefully Breeze will feel better when the weather warms up. <br /><br />Cricket looks great! With my next puppy, I'm definitely going to use those jump grids with the bumps.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146649374510678844noreply@blogger.com
