I was taught from the beginning to put a treat on Ruby’s nose and lure her through the weaves with it – I have never seen the method you describe but it sounds interesting.

No fear! I have enough trouble trying to get through the class without putting myself through trials! No, honestly Andrea, Jakey would have been brilliant if I had wanted to trial him, but Ruby is too easily distracted by everything going on around her, plus one week she’ll do something then the next week she’ll have ‘forgotten’....or she won’t do it [not sure which?] – as with the closed tunnel in the video – she’s been doing that for months...... The other side of it Andrea is that I am no good under pressure – to get the best run with the dog you really need to think fast about where to put yourself so you are in the right place to call the dog onto the next obstacle – I’m hopeless at that!
