Day 59: Ride in the Sun

I'm still desperate to get this reporting out the way so I can focus more on training! I had a little bag of home made dog treats that my friend baked for her pack and she gave me a packet of them. I used them in a food search this morning after going through the list of possibilities for a morning session and deciding on this. Does anyone else do this? Basically my morning is a conversation in my head with myself on what might be a good idea to do/train. And it's usually like:

We could do with training hol...we need to train faster dow...we got those exercises from agility to focu....we should just go for a walk...nah CBA talking to the neighbour..what about some S flow, nahhh not feeling that this morning...we should play, but what? Lets work on tug, yeh but we've done loads of that lately I'll just let her chase the ba....no we need to be careful to not do too much of that... need to work on those pivots, backslides? Not feeling it. A food search. Yes! ahhhhhh, food search, that will be fun 😁 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️is this why people make proper weekly training plans?!🤣

Anyway, suffice to say they enjoyed the search but not with nearly as much gusto as if i had used raw food 🤣 I did do all of two sendaways to the contact mat with Aster (which were very good with other dogs as distraction) and one "around" the barrel from a distance with zero hand signal. Just the cue word which took me by surprise!

Nice ride out in the sun this afternoon 😎 👌 🌞 ☀️ 🐎 🐴 video of a load of sheep loose on the road and dogs not giving a toss. They are good girls sometimes!!
