- We learned three different ways of calling back the dog if sent him over a hurdle. In addition to the right steps and turnings you have to remember to call the dog right away he has pushed himself to the jump. You cannot be late in that. Everything sounds very-very easy but if you begin to try it, then the result is failure at first :) Ruudi was of course fine but I have to practice it so that I do not have to think about how to turn myself correctly and call the dog in the right time. One of the way is known as waltzing. While it was others turn to practice it with the dog, I was waltzing with myself like lunatic - "dry training" you know ;)
- Running the slalom if the sticks are really low. Ruudi likes slalom. In a bit lighter version Ruudi performed 100% OK, but in the harder one he sometimes came out before the end of the slalom.
If it goes like planned then next week we already have two AG classes in a week!

However, it is stormy outside but Ruudi absolutely loves fresh snow. It makes him crazy! He is just running around and is so happy about it. Imagine, you can eat it, you can play with it and there is so much fun about the slippery ground!
Returning form the evening pee was of course with the snowball!
Remains of the ball:
We just came in at the evening pee and I was just wondering that dog, Into I mean. There is so cold, -15 and Into didn't have any coat on, because it was very fast visit outside, and he was playing with the snow so happy. He puts he's head under the snow and throws snow with he's nose. Runs like crazy (in flexi-leash) and jump like little wild pony. If I understand correctly Ruudi does the same. So similar..brothers. =)
