Love all the comments too :)<BR/><BR/>Just a suggestion -- what works really well with Mika (who used to be really unconfident) is pretending that she doesn't make any mistakes. I noticed that when Ricky went around a jump, you turned back to do it again. I think Ricky might be worried about making mistakes, which might be why he slows down...he figures that if he slows down,Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986443645823408698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962113910976722292.post-67256640631581746932009-03-27T18:34:00.000-04:002009-03-27T18:34:00.000-04:00that is one super cute video and I KNOW why you ar...that is one super cute video and I KNOW why you are slow - It's cause your so small and have short little legs...it takes your so many more steps to cover the ground!!!!!

So many slow & steady dogs in the trials here always win against the fast ones especially if the course is smaller & tighter. I agree with someone here. You should reward him when he goes fast & executes each obstacle perfectly. Oh yeah, that's some pretty fast weaving! Hehehe.

I thought it was funny that you thought me getting picked up was a reward! I HATE being picked up or cuddled - BOL! Mom should make rewarding me more of a party and be careful about what she's rewarding!

He went down a line of jumps and was pretty speedy and you didnt reward that. He did a fast sit on the table, and you didnt reward. But when he went really slow toward the end and didnt take the jump, you picked him up and hugged him.

She's even seemed to disappear into the tunnel at some points...<BR/><BR/>I just can't seem to get the same dog that I run agility with at home and at training when I go to a trial. It's soo incredibly frustrating! Keep up the good work and maybe one day both Raven and Ricky will turn on the speed and show everyone how Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167586753654796401noreply@blogger.com
