Good Whippet: June 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Update on "The Boys". I picked up another great tip last night when sending Wyatt to onside weaves at an angle. The tip is to send him to a point behind the weaves so he can get a good entrance rather than trying to send directly to the entrance. Friday, June 18, 2010. Dance With Your Dog.

Good Whippet: May 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Focusing on my arm motion seemed to help stay consistently connected with my dog for the whole course. Wyatt ran pretty well last night though he slowed down quite a bit for his last run. It was very hot and he did a walk and a run during the day. I am still perplexed that he wants to run in class but not at home. I am scheduling an appointment with our sports vet, Julie Roos. Friday, May 21, 2010. Deaf Dogs Part 2. Wednesday, May 19, 2010.

Good Whippet: November 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Obedience and Rally Results. I was thrilled that Wyatt and Patriot came in first and fourth respectively under Celeste Meade in Rally Excellent B on Friday. Wyatt also earned another RAE-2 leg. I think he has 5 now. They both did great. I loved seeing 2 whippets place in such a large class. Whippet Sydney and his handler Lesley got their first Open A leg Saturday, which I was thrilled to be able to witness.

Good Whippet: July 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Can't Get Away With It. We worked on Chances at class last night. The course was one we did not get at the last trial. I did improve but never got the whole thing perfect. Some critical parts:. Timing is very critical for the switch at a distance. It is very easy to be late. When that happens, Wyatt stops and looks back to me. I can't stop or Wyatt will stop. I need to leave enough room and take smaller steps so I can continue moving.

Good Whippet: August 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Thursday, August 26, 2010. I have been using this little course for a few weeks with both Wyatt and Patriot. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Wyatt Does Want To Practice. Friday, August 13, 2010. Wyatt Practicing Agility At Home or NOT. Maybe he got a bee sting or something doing agility in the recent past? Maybe he was sore after 2 walks yesterday and it was still a little hot? I am not going to push it but I find it very curious. Wednesday, August 11, 2010.

Good Whippet: October 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Saturday, October 30, 2010. The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat. I got a reminder today of why I do agility. So what I got today was it is not the Qs themselves that are important but the feeling you have everything is flowing. That's what it is all about, at least for me. I don't expect it all the time and I always strive for it and appreciate it when it comes. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Distance Work With Wyatt. Thursday, October 14, 2010. It makes me...

Good Whippet: September 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Friday, September 17, 2010. I repainted my dogwalk with the hope that that would fix some safety issues with it. Wyatt had 2 or 3 slips, one of them rather frightening. I had also been wondering why Wyatt was reluctant to do agility at home. I had not connected it with these dogwalk issues. Just goes to show you that going cheap is counterproductive in the long run. It did seem to work OK for years though. Thursday, September 09, 2010. Monday, September 06, 2010.

Good Whippet: March 2010

http://goodwhippet.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Dog training is NOT about training dogs. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Obedience Saturday in Taunton. I have Wyatt in Novice B and Open A and Patriot in Novice B Saturday in Taunton, MA. Things to remember for Wyatt. Stay up and happy. Don't touch him too much for a reward in the ring. Keep things moving especially for the recall. Move quickly to the end of the ring and turn around and give the command as soon as possible. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Saturday, March 20, 2010. Tuesday, March 16, 2010.
