First sequencing!
Sorry, no pics or video but I am so proud I just have to post! Pimg got to do her first sequencing last night in class! She's not a terribly high drive dog, and quickly gets bored with constant jump exercises. I have to mix in some obedience training just to keep her interested. So, with that said- I continue to wonder how good she will be in agility. She seems to really have a great time- but ultimately I think she just enjoys doing something with me.
So my instructor setup four single bar jumps (one was a double bar, but set at 12" so it might as well have been a single bar) followed by a 180* turn through a tunnel, followed by a single bar set at a tough angle. She later reduced the angle admitting it was a bit harder than she had intended. Anyhow- I got to take Pimg through this short sequence three times, and I was shocked to find myself literally sprinting to keep up with her!! She is pretty handler focused, so the first time through I had to give her a slight shove back inline with the 4th jump, but the second and third times through she needed no physical touch to keep her inline. So proud of my girl! Can't believe how fast she was- and I realize that I haven't seen anything yet!!  EDIT- Sequence looked like this. I was also able to practice a leadout and I tried front crossing out of the tunnel.

 I used simple MS Paint haha![EDIT] That was not intended as a slam. I figured most people would easily recognize that as a hacked together MS Paint drawing. Then again, as a computer programmer, I might have a skewed opinion on what people should recognize. No offense intended...

I got a video of class today. Sorry- first time uploading from phone, didn't realize that portrait mode would suck so bad. Anywho...
Pimg overcame her fear of the chute today- and seems to really like it all of a sudden! Notice me sending her from the opposite side even- like I said, she really digs it. We also got to do some sequencing today. She entered the table from the wrong direction (I assume that would have been a refusal) and I attempted a rear cross off of the table. She still isn't so confident with rear crosses and often turns to me. She managed to get the jump anyway and the shot through the chute. So much fun tonight... I swear- every night of class I get more and more hooked!
