Thursday Karen lesson

A bit different from recent lessons but really fun. Started with weaves, channels first then 12 straight. He FLEW through the channels but found the 12 hard. RACED through the channels and he was fab. Need to just build his confidence again with weaves. He does love it when he gets it right :)

Jump grid next - started with waits and broke only once on each side.

Then did sending him up the grid for his toy on a stool. He went for the toy but didnt run off - stayed to play with me. TBH not sure if that was because of the stool which is unusual. One time I threw his toy and he ran off with it, I legged it to the start and he came back with toy. No running off refusing to come back today. Repeated the wait practice with Karen playing with the ball at the end of the jumps and he was a good boy.

Then went on to contacts on low height. Seesaw was good. DW was ok - Karen suggested staying wider out and then coming in to reward him when he nose touched. This worked well.

Aframe was still hardest for him with him on my right and he would touch and then come off. so put him on half way up and did it and then repeated and he was good. MUST try not to be too exciting in my voice!

Oh and he ignored the yellow jcb, and the howling wind!

The Bonnie came out to do a jump grid, some weaves and the contacts - she loved it :)
