I haven't done a vid of Willy since March. We have made quite a bit of progress. With the nice weather, we are working out in the big field -- wow, do I have to run!!! We have worked up to 18 obstacles. Willy has picked up speed. We've had some rain, none of the dogs have had much outdoor time, and I couldn't fit in a walk today, so Willy had lots of energy for this class.

We ran 2 courses. This is the first course. Our first time on it. I missed a big piece in the middle, oops!

Awhile later, we ran the same course, our second time out. I was able to correct my mistakes, so we made it through the entire course.

Our final run was on course 2. By now Willy is so revved up, he just takes off, makes it up as he goes along and twice he leaves my lead and takes the wrong obstacle. I do get him back, as you will see. My camera ran out of memory at the very end, so you miss seeing Willy on the teeter. That is OK, he was running much too fast and went sailing off the end. It was on its way down, and he wasn't hurt, then he immediately turned to me, "I get TREATS now, RIGHT?"

It is interesting to watch, to see the mistakes I make, where I could have gathered him back, where I slowed him down.

Thanks for watching!
