SO havent been on here in a while. Had some pretty shit family stuff going on so really havent even thought about the whole bloggy thing. But anyways here I am again with a few things to update on.
Rommy has accidently won into grade 4 at JDA... I say accidently because I was planning on getting him E'd in the run. He didnt stop his dogwalk like he should (more about that later) so I was going to put him back on again but Rommy decided he wanted his clear round and to go grade 4 so he went and finished the course... on his own. Leaving me standing like a numpty at the bottom of the dogwalk. Naughty boy. Needless to say he went and won it by 8 seconds. Blimey. He did pretty well at the rest of JDA getting 2nd C1-3 steeplecase behind a super fast collie, 4th and 5th in some pretty big C3-5 jumping classes. I E'd him in the rest of his agilities because of his insane dogwalk. We did Bitz n Bobz with the same crazy dogwalk issues but he got a 2nd in a jumping.
SO those crazy dog walks. Pretty sure that the problem is mostly the crazy dog, If anyone has seen Rommy around agility he is completely insane and actually getting pretty uncontrollable lately. I've just started him on some herbal stuff to hopefully calm him down a bit. I KNOW he knows the difference between his running aframe and stopping his dog walk and seesaw, I KNOW he does. I really dont even care if he runs the dw and gets the contact because its really not the point. So I'm now in the process of making him really obsessed with his stopping postition which is going pretty well. So with any luck with all the homework we've been doing and with his herbal stuff we might actually be able to get our dog walk properly at somepoint soon at a show.

In general hes been working really well though and his A frames have been really good, still trying to get his confidence up on it but he definitely enjoys doing them! :)
