Trained Pip yesterday.

Started with some set point exercises to get his bum working. Interestingly he often clips the pole (even low) the first couple of times, then gets his bum going and doesnt hit them again.

Have now worked out the best distance for the poles, and start low, then go medium and finish with one on full.

The worked on contacts. See saw was good as usual, DW was ok.

A frame started lifting him on and got fab drive to target, then let him go right over and still got got good drive to target. But he is very sensitive to my movement and will hop off if I move, so I need to do lots more proofing of this.

Moved on to adding a jump before the A frame and he did this well. then added a jump to weaves (just 4 ) afterwards on a bend. Again liked this a lot.

then did a little grid work. started with a 3,6,9,9 grid, and went on to 2 spreads into the box. Did some front crosses and then some pull throughs - these are good again now :)

Went on to the 3 fences on the ring and linked the with a front cross to A frame - got it all well, but was a bit over excited and although he got the contact he didnt stay there!

Finished with a couple more contacts.

Pleased overall with him.
