This is the standard course we ran last night int he Intermediate class. I brought Gus along since his class on Monday night was cancelled. He ran like a maniac as usual. The obstacle discrimination at the dog walk was terribly hard for all of the dogs including Gus. He just wanted that tunnel. I tried an RFP but it just wasn't working. In addition he had built up some much speed at jumps 3 and 4 that he was just unable to slow down and focus on the weaves. Same thing happened at the table. He just doesn't understand why I am asking him to stop and lay down when it is totally obvious that there is a tunnel over there that needs to be run through. Last night he basically stood at the tunnel entrance and refused to come back and do the table. He just looked from me to the tunnel a bunch of times. We also skipped the teeter because I have been working with Debbie to fix his teeter performance.
