Re: The Summer is upon us! I've come off Kath and Merla's post ,sorry I was hijacking Kath ;D So the Weave poles were set up and we had the surprise discovery of jumps ;D image by dexterpops02, on Flickr We are using the 2 x2 method ......but I'll have to try and not go too fast as it seems to be a bit drawn out and he seems to be understanding weave through the first 2 already.....?I'm going to do this properly though!just in case we ever do get to do it at a real club! With a bit of manhandling and adjusting I made the poles into indoor jumps ...... image by dexterpops02, on Flickr Here he is lined up.... image by dexterpops02, on Flickr He always looks like a geek when he's waiting ;D And here he is in action ;D image by dexterpops02, on Flickr So next things to work on are : 1 getting the jump onto an 'Over' cue,I'm still saying 'target' and he's coming over to touch my fist with his nose. 2.Working up to multiple jumps. 3. Performing multiple jumps at Flyball height in preparation for when the board appears ;D that won't be for a while,best not to overwhelm the poor boy...or me
Re: The Summer is upon us! Ah Dexter, what's your mum saying? I don't think you really look like a geek, I would call it a bit of an intelligent look. Bet you're enjoying yourself. You're lovely.
Re: The Summer is upon us! Is that the non slip gym flooring? I had some of that for Charlie's pen (until he chewed it). Ingenious to use it as a jump lane!

Ingenious to use it as a jump lane! [/quote] It is non slip but it's not very grand ,about £ 5 a piece ,it does the job to stop him slipping around ,imy hall is quite a good width as he hasn't got a massive amount of choice,he can go round the jump but mostly he takes it....we will try 2 tomorrow !x I was mean calling him a geek :-[ .....love him to bits and thankyou for the kind compliments,he is pretty special to us
Re: The Summer is upon us! Clever boy! Looks like lots of fun Good work capturing the jump picture, too!
Re: The Summer is upon us! Brilliant Angela and the very gorgeous Dexter. Angela when you want Dexter to jump hold his favourite toy to encourage him over saying 'jump' at each one he will soon be flying over and then throw the toy over the last jump for Dexter's reward, but only keep that toy for Agility, it worked for Charlie xx
Re: The Summer is upon us! There is pride in being a geek. Geeks are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge within their field. It's not a bad word where I come from!
Re: The Summer is upon us! You know what,now I think about it he's not a geek He is certainly not : [quote author=Oberon link=topic=6167.msg84218#msg84218 date=1401654400] ........dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge within their field. [/quote] He's more a.....'go on I'll give it a go if you can manage to make yourself clear Mum ,AND there's a treat at the end' Thanks Helen.bit embarrassed to say though he hasn't got a favourite toy :-[ he's all about the food my boy!x
Re: The Summer is upon us! My first look at this thread Angela. It's nice to see what you two are up to. You make it look good fun AND you inspire me 8)
