New Season

Tomorrow we start agility training outside again -- yay!  It will be a private lesson, just me and Chip and Erin.  So Chip will have no reason to go bee-zerk at other dogs as they run the course.

The last few weeks, it's become more and more clear that Chip is doing great and that I need remedial training.  I just can't get myself to react quickly enough, or to remember which jump comes first, or to give Chip the signals he needs when he needs them.  So... we may try a few sessions of me without Chip, just learning how to walk a course and think more strategically about what I need to do.

We move to the new house next week -- yay again! -- and Chip and Max will have a new big yard to patrol.  Can't wait!
