Weaving

Here's some sessions which show the great understanding that 2x2's give dogs!

Tai did about 4 weeks worth of 2x2 training (once I figured out what we were doing) and then had 5 weeks off. In his first session back he nailed his most of the entries. I'm going to start really working on speed into the poles (as well as some hard entries) in our little backyard.

Update

Tai has had 5 weeks off weaving while I had exams and then went to Rarotonga. Yesterday I went outside to do his first 2x2 session back and he came up to me with one eye swollen and completely closed over!

So, off to the vets. Couldn't see any scratches or foreign bodies so we got some antibiotic drops. Today his eye is almost back to normal so hopefully later this week we can get back into weaving.

Below is bung-eye (looks a bit worse because I had flushed it with water).

Wish I was back in Raro, away from the crappy rain and freezing winds!
