Pause Tables in an agility course…seriously??
The old standby “she does it great at home!” I could even say “she does it great in class!” well, need to make that past tense to did… Then we start trialing and that is where it all went downhill.
They are called “Pause Table” for a reason, for a place to make the dog “pause” and… and what? What were they thinking? Why would I want my dog to Pause and have a moment to think about anything…
I find it a place for me to stop and get me time to think about my nerves…
Some venues don’t even have them anymore, and some have minimized it to having the dog on it with all four paws, no sitting or down… but of course the venue I love so dearly USDAA, still requires a down.
Yes! Hemi did it great at one time... Yes! I rewarded heavily for it in the backyard… Yes! I thought I had done some proofing – but obviously not enough… as you will see me repeat in my blog – Hemi has taught me yet again that we have holes in our training….
So it is Thursday… Agility night and I can’t wait! Hemi and I have several key components we need to work on – and finally the weather is working in our favor.
So we are off and I will give a status afterwards!
