Training Training Training

Well its definately been the theme of this week.
On Thursday, Ashy went to Rotorua club and trained with others for the first time. She coped really well and did some nice work gaining confidence throughout the evening. Her home performance continues to rocket away so really looking forward to the day when her confidence out matches it. It will be really cool.

Today Dyson and I ran a fundraising training day for NDTA. We did a foundation session of 1.5 hours followed by two groups of competing dogs at different levels doing a total of around 4 hours of handling training. What a great group they all were and there was some really good stuff happening and heaps of improvement and tidying up of exisitng skills along with some new ones being tried.

Another two weeks before Ashy's next outing which is the local Ribbon Trial so no excuse not to get some more training done. Having alocal ART might just give her the next step as it is a familiar grounds.
