Contact problems

Dad's been having a bit of a problem with Bex' contacts at the moment. Bex has no trouble still doing a nose touch when she's in 2o2o, but she does not recognise that she's meant to stop if she does a full contact with no target. So going up the field later to backtrain with no target.
For some reason the blog won't let me paste the video embed code from youtube, so this is Bex at 17mths.

I'll try and get another update of her doing seesaws in a couple of weeks when hopefully she's made some progress!

5 weeks to go!

OOps forgot about this blog!
Only 5 weeks until Bex's first show...
she's doing fab and has been on upright weaves for the last 2 weeks, and is getting brilliant entries. Dad is able to recall her through them, and send her in from way back, and cross behind etc, and front cross after them, so really pleased with how she's doing.
Seesaw still needs a bit of work but that'll come.
Contacts are good, fading the target away and occasionally do it with no target and she still nose touches which is great.
She's doing good pull throughs, box work and gorgeous snakes, and still nice go-ons. Dad had a training day a few weeks ago with Dave Munnings and it was fab (although I preferred it mainly coz I got to watch 3 of the Gunran pups training!)
Here's a vid of her weaving the last time on V weaves before we switched to uprights.
