Rain busts training

Well our training has been spotty lately, we have been rained out. The powers that be promised a dry mild winter and we have been hit with rain and the higher elevations with snow, since before Halloween. Normally I rejoice whenever it rains, but i have shucked out a few shekels for Lady's classes and like to be able to attend them once in awhile. We have makeup classes on Saturday, but this Saturday the forecast is ... you guessed it, rain.

The last time we went to Agility we had a very advanced course and it was quite a challenge. Of course Mike didn't really appreciate the difficulty since he was the one who had to execute the run. My surgery is in a few weeks and then I am on the injured list until the first of March. I'll have a brief window of running until my next surgery in April. I miss running Lady in Agility and Mike gets to have all the fun. Mike does not see it quite the way I do, but he is a trooper filling in for me.

Happily, I can still work with Lady in Shaping behaviors. We are working on crawling, bowing and limping. I have worked up a plan to teach her dance moves using targets. I am also planning on teaching her to shake her head no. Just have to get the other behaviors down first. Also, huge socialization. Lots of work to do. It will be easier once we are through the Holidays!
