Burke back to training mode ...

I am so pleased with Burke's training session this morning ... she is really starting to come along well. Tons of enthusiasm, maybe a little too much 'throw myself at this' but we're working on that. Doing a full-size teeter now, doesn't bat an eye at any bangs, weavepoles coming along nicely, footwork is looking really good, she keeps herself very low in the poles which I like to see. Focus is coming along ... just very cool !
Winter hit Calgary again last night ... why does that have to happen anyway?

Burke is now Can Ch Caitland Eight Days A Week, finishing today at the CKOC shows, going Best of Breed. She's a fun girl to show. Way to go Burkie!!

Agility class tonight - Burke's favourite night of the week I think! Had a major moment (IMO anyway!). She did 4 sets of weavepoles with only the 1st & last pole with wires. Only sets of 6 though, so maybe not SUPER major, but I was pretty pleased anyway! A couple of those I was way behind her too, and she found her entrance all by herself. Because I took some wires off, I made sure it was a pretty straightforward entrance, but still ... baby steps but steps nonetheless!

We received Reilly's ATCH-V in the mail today - thanks ASCA! Not only the first ATCH Aussie in Canada, but the highest ASCA Agility titled Aussie in Canada ... what a dog she has been.

Burke had a chance to play with sheep yesterday (thanks very much Jerry!), and man did she love it ... VERY keen, was trying to get around her stock and was not rough on them at all. It was very fun for her ... although I had a hard time catching her to get her out of the pen!

The girls outside on a snowy winter day ... don't they look well-behaved (fooled you!)
