If the snow ever melts, we'll try that! I really appreciate your advice!<br /><br />Here is the YouTube tutorial about training backwards circle -<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-2LdFoHEck<br /><br />We modified this method a little (like the books didn't work for me because I wanted to do 2o2o on them so we used a little table). We used a couch behind us and tables on the sides.Chris and Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052668808100244423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-52441694066131482022010-01-11T09:42:50.101-08:002010-01-11T09:42:50.101-08:00What a great idea!

I'm willing to give 2o2o another shot if there's a way for her to do it more comfortably. It's such a big decision!!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146649374510678844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-24272996826777851212010-01-09T04:43:42.260-08:002010-01-09T04:43:42.260-08:00Gosh you are good at giving Cricket all kinds of n...Gosh you are good at giving Cricket all kinds of new experiences - it is so cool to see her interacting with all that stuff with no hesitation or fear. I am really looking forward to hearing about your recall class since you know that is one of out priorities at the moment.Chris and Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052668808100244423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-35397336265891195752010-01-08T17:30:32.278-08:002010-01-08T17:30:32.278-08:00I'm starting to think that a 4 on the floor A-...I'm starting to think that a 4 on the floor A-Frame contact might be the way to go. Marge just cannot put the brakes on to stop after going over the A-Frame and winds up slamming her body into the ground. I'd go with a regular running but I'm just worried because I know it takes so long to train, and some trainers even say it's nearly impossible to train a totally successful running contact. <br /><br />Having a lesson on Monday to figure it all out - will let you know how it goes!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146649374510678844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-48107319152943575422010-01-08T13:57:14.774-08:002010-01-08T13:57:14.774-08:00that is funny, when I bought the sit n spin at a n...that is funny, when I bought the sit n spin at a neighbors yard sale the lady told me that it was going to drive me crazy-I am sure assuming I was buying it for a kid, and it does play a lot of music and it is LOUD!!!Kathy Mocharnukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029142726866533193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-26160951932178382992010-01-08T13:48:37.660-08:002010-01-08T13:48:37.660-08:00Sit n spins make noise now?

I'm trying to shape Oreo to get into a box, then a smaller box, then a smaller box.....It is hysterical.<br /><br />Oreo gets really sensitive about any change in weave poles. He notices if part of the base is not touching the ground completely, etc. He's getting better, but when he misses a pole, I always look at the equipment and usually that was the reason for his mistake.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715453703592474992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-65445546523503039732010-01-08T13:38:14.027-08:002010-01-08T13:38:14.027-08:00Cricket is just so cute.
