one step forward

After a very tiring and exhausted "adventorous" three days, I now try to get back to normal. I am aching all over after nearly a 50/60 miles walk on the weekend!

Just a quick catch up here, Sizzle was a very good boy at Club training yesterday, he is back to his toy motivated self and we did a lot of different front cross sequences and he did them beautifully and drive to his toy! Yeah! We then did some see-saw invloving jumps and tunnels. For the first few runs, Eleanor was there to hold the see-saw and fed him, then she just stood there without holding the see-saw, so when he shot up there, it tip, the first time, he flew off the see-saw but it didn't bother him, so the second time, he knew the thing will tip and hang back a little. I think he was very good and that is one step forward for us! Unfortunately the last 10 minutes turned into a little disaster. We were doing two straight jumps onto the A Frame, then jump. Eleanor was at the bottom of the A Frame trying to feed the other dogs that did stop contact; we always run last because we do something different to the others. When Sizzle shooting down the A Frame, Eleanor chuck his toy (the treat and tug toy) over the next jump and Sizzle dashed to the toy but Ricky, another sheltie was loose and he snatched the toy from him and growl viciously! That put poor little Sizzle off the toy and would not happy to do anything again! I tried to switch toy but he just went off it!

I thought I will have problem getting him to play again but today at Bernadette, he was fine and happy to play with his ball. I used a different toy, I don't know if that made the difference but he was happy and we managed to do some "nice" rear across sequence. We also did some see-saw but we have improved from what we did from club, I am really happy with him. We now started to learn weaving! He is not driving to his food pot and is not happy to be on the lead while work, so we have a challenge there!!

here are some photos:

we took four boys with us to Yorkshire on the weekend, you can see they were quite content sleeping on the comfy bed! I can't name the hotel just in case they found out the dogs have been sleeping on their bed.

poor daddy has to sleep on the floor! Sizzle said he will keep his daddy company and daddy's big tummy is as comfy as the bed!
