An exciting night at agility training
What an exciting night at agility training last night. There were only two other agility supercanines and their agility servants in my class so there was plenty of action and not much waiting around. I had a blast practising accel and decel cues over a jump. In my opinion you can't beat running and jumping and then getting yummy treats unless of course you add a tunnel to the running and jumping. The agility servant was particularly sane last night I was able to interpret her bumbling and she was extremely pleased with herself which always causes her to play lots of tug and hand out mega amounts of treats. It's such a shame that she's a bit dense and hard to understand, it makes it much harder to figure out what she wants and keep her in a happy mood. After all the indoor fun we went out to practice contacts and weaves outside  I can't understand why the agility servant was so impressed that I remembered that she likes me to put my back feet on the yellow bit of the walk thingy. It was only two weeks ago we practiced it. The way she got so excited when we walked past and I jumped on the walk (I was feeling peckish if truth be known) you'd think it was two years ago. So easy! Stick my back feet on the yellow end of a sloped plank and look at the ground and I get food.  Anyways running around in the cool, fresh country evening air was such fun that I got a tad excited. So the servant has a scrapey, bruisey bit down her leg and bruises on the back of one hand, so what, we were having fun. And it's entirely NOT my fault if she grabbed the tugger at the same time as me and upright skin is soooo flimsy. So a bandaid was required, no biggy!! No children or small animals were harmed, just an agility servant's finger bled a bit.  She always was a bit uncoordinated and injury prone, poor thing. |

LOL! You go, girl!  Kristine |
 Go Tiggy! |
| Note from the downtrodden agility servant: Colleagues at work keep asking how I got the cut on the back of my finger and all the bruises on the back of my hand. Many, well probably most seem to think I'm a masochist or mad when I tell them they're from my dog's teeth because she got excited and missed the tugger toy in her excitement. Devoted, dedicated and a little bit daft maybe. |
| Maybe you need to wear a leather glove or something on your hand during agility. It is cute that Tiggy gets so excited. Another thought, Maybe you need to adopt the "Michael Jackson" one glove hand for work? Thank you for the Agility stories I'm really enjoying them. I loved it when my girls were in agility, so much fun. |

Devoted, dedicated and a little bit daft maybe. Sounds about right.  Sybil has the tugging down to a point where she rarely if ever catches my hand, her big thing is (not) releasing it  The other night in class when I had to stick my face right in her face and growl "GIVE" to get her to release the toy my instructor started laughing and commented that maybe she's part pit bull I'm still trying to convince her sister that tugging is cool. She has little spurts now and then and the bitch has NO concept what her teeth are snagging in her excitement. I'm sort of stuck because I really want to encourage ANY tugging at this point, so don't want to come down too hard on her, even though basic rule of tugging is "no teeth on human!" So I spend half my time enouraging her and half the time protecting my extremities Kristine |
| Tell the co-workers that you developed TMT Disorder? (Tiggy Missed Tugger) Or even TMTNTMFO (Tiggy Missed Tugger Nearly Took My Finger Off) Yay Tiggy! |

So I spend half my time enouraging her and half the time protecting my extremities Kristine Tiggy works on the principle that 'a fair exchange is no robbery'. She is happy to give the tugger up if I've treats otherwise she's inclined to use her entire body weight and sudden sharp tugs to claim it entirely for her own. So it becomes a battle of grip strength and wills. May I need to edit my original post to devoted, dedicated and a lot daft. And Ron I think I'll go with TMT. Work will like that better than RSI. |
