Both Sky and Ice return to competition next weekend after a 2 month break.  I’ve been running Ice in class each week as well as doing Dog Walk and Weave training with him.  Sky on the other hand has not done much agility during his 8 week break, but he has been doing a lot of obedience and rally with Penelope.

In order to get him ready for next weekend I created a short jumping sequence specifically designed to challenge Sky’s weaknesses.

This looks simply enough but Sky had a really hard time completing this course clean.  Sky’s main jumping weakness is he doesn’t perform the parallel to perpendicular jumping effort very well at speed and this course had several points that tested this skill.
