The other thing we have been playing with this week is getting the dogs to practice balancing on a wobble cushion and do tricks on it like sit, beg, spin, twist and paw. Brax is hilarious - sometimes she looks quite sea sick!!

Gridwork and Wobble Cushion
Brax and I went to a gridwork training day yesterday with Gemma Hanekom. It was so interesting watching not only Brax but all the other dogs working on the different exercises. Brax was a good girl and had fun doing the exercises. She was very confident on the bendy grid (jumping tight and wrapping wings has never been too hard for her) but she did struggle a bit to work out her striding on a straight line grid. Once she had a stride regulator she found it easier so this is something we can work on. I found it fascinating watching the different dogs working through the grid and Gemma was great at building their confidence. Its funny watching dogs doing grids after so many years of doing them on horses!!

ReplyDeleteGood to hear you had a good training session.
Brax is the cutest little thing! She is so funny sometimes! Make sure Matt didn't get sea sick when he runs Brax in the WAO :)
