Fun Run - Standard

This week we did a USDAA Standard course for the weekly Fun Run. I ran Gus first. He had his typical issues - weaves, table, contacts and keeping bars up. I have to say that the sequence from 5 to 9 handled beautifully. Otherwise his first run pretty much a mess. I was definitely frustrated. For his second run

I started at the table and kept his leash on him into the weaves. We ran the rest of the course from there. He did fair on the weaves and wouldn't down on the table as usual.

For Flex's first run I just wanted to get him to do the first 4 obstacles. Unfortunately he ran off after the first jump. On his second run I made sure to treat every obstacle or every other one. He ran the whole thing but we skipped the weaves and teeter. I intended to have him run past the other obstacles but he took them. He has seen a dog walk before so I wasn't too worried but he has never seen the Aframe before. He charged right up the Aframe and got an "uh oh" look on his face once he reached the pinnacle. He continued forward and completed the frame with enthusiasm and turned around and went right back up the Aframe again. What a great dog he is!
