I'm trying to be good about it, because it sucks having a dog who decides when it's time to leave and then I'm left in the dust trying to make a front cross while the dog goes offcourse. Been there. Done that. I'm also horrified that at the last 2 trials she's suddenly decided to start leaving the contacts early. I have trained *so* hard at preventing that for more than a year!

If only her handler were capable of beating any handler out there, which is much more in question. And I don't intend that as an underevaluation of my abilities--as Dirty Harriet would say, "A woman's got to know her limitations." I'm just trying hard to prevent those limitations from slowing her down to figure out what the blankety-blank I'm trying to communicate to her.<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-10154835096996858362007-05-09T10:24:00.000-07:002007-05-09T10:24:00.000-07:00It is pretty hard to see much on that clip but one...It is pretty hard to see much on that clip but one thing I can see is that she's running *very* fast. When she's a little more seasoned and your hip and knee aren't bothering you so much, you two are going to be a tough team to beat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-11269945141483622822007-05-09T08:19:00.000-07:002007-05-09T08:19:00.000-07:00You are so good about holding her contacts.
