New training videos, Trey’s Rally Novice

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Added some new videos on Youtube:

Trey’s first rally novice leg and his first time in the ring at Yankee Golden’s specialty in June. It was pouring rain. He’s about 13 months old in the video. Video here.

Here’s a video of a recent training session with Trey. He just started doing 12 poles last week and in just a couple days he’s improved a lot — he’s figuring out his footwork, picking up speed and I’ve even been able to add obstacles before the poles. So far he has lovely entries even with speed. He’s got nice single striding with a nice low headset. Also, look at that wonderful running aframe!! Note aframe is lower then AKC regulations at this point.
Video here.

Not to be left out I also did a vid of Snapshot. She’s got such nice FAST weaves at home just wish she’d show this speed in a trial. Also she does some really nice running aframes in this sequence. Video here.

Lora has also put up some nice vids of Cash’s(Pine Run Kiowa I Walk The Line) weave pole training. Video here

One thing about these dogs is they love to work.

Okay, so the problem with being a professional photographer is that my dogs get photographed a lot. Then of course I have to share them. Here’s a few new ones of Flyte, Snapshot and Trey working in the field during a training session today.
