So this week we've actually had some good things out the way and just some general good news. Rommys back is finally better! YAY! The whole thing has been going on since November and he hasnt done any proper training since October! It has been a very long time and I have been working really hard with him and he seems to finally have worked :). Cant wait to get him back out there, with any luck the break will have done his brain good. We've done a lot of heelwork in the meantime which have already really helped his focus so we've definitely got some positives out of such a long injury! The other good thing is I finally got his second measure done. We went with Rhoda and Dolly over the weekend and they both measured medium :). Apart from all that Rommy has absolutely loved all the snow we've had, spends most of his time eating it and trying running around like a crazy thing. We went for some very nice walks with friends even though Rommys legs did snowball really badly he still loved it.
with all the snow and ice we did some of trick training, I decided to try and teach him to get into a suitcase.He was a bit confused what the hell I was trying to get him to do to begin with but he actually loves getting in or on things so he picked it up really quickly in the end :). Managed to get a video of it thanks to Hazel.
One other thing I've decided to work on is retraining Rommys A frame to a running contact. With all the back problems hes had over the last few months I felt it would be better for him, so they're should be a few videos to put on here in the next few weeks. Heres a quick video of his second go at running on a plank, the plank isnt very long and Im working on getting a long bit of carpet at the moment :)
