Class and stuff

Im teaching a class for our club. Its a 6 week class on basic foundation skills. Like sit, down and walking loose leash.  ( No sure I should be teaching loose leash walking. Hopefully none of them see me at the park. LOL)   So I took the puppy with me.  He was very nervous when we first got there. Kinda whinny. He wouldnt takes treats. I was worried and thought I missed the boat on socializing the dog.  But Sheltie rescue doesnt want to taking puppies out until they are fully vaccinated and since I dont own this puppy I have to do what they say. But after being in the building about 15-20 minutes he got much better and was able to take treats. I used in him the class as a demo dog.  He did great. 
His crying in the crate when in the car as stopped now. He has been riding everyday and not crying since Monday. So that is a relief. The crying at night has gotten much better too.  Anywhere from 5 minutes ot 15 minutes of crying and then he goes to sleep.  I feel the night crying is his biggest problem right now. I want to try to work through this because I dont want him return to rescue because they couldnt handle it. And this dog can scream.  They lady who had him when I was on vacation said , the first time he let out a scream all her dogs ran for cover. LOL

I went up to Meagans for a foundation class with Java. And to take a 30 minute lesson with her after class. Java is doing well.  Im having trouble teaching her to "wait".  I think Ive wrecked that word. I think Java thinks "wait" means "go".  LOL  So Meagan gave me things to work on to teach her to stay in her place. Im also having problems with her taking jumps when we are running.  When we just walk past jumps she will take them. She will offer taking jumps all the time, so I know they have been rewarded enough. But as soon as I start running , she chases me and doesnt take the jumps. LOL. I havent been able to fix it. So Meagan worked with me on this too.
I took Miley and Java to the building yesterday and worked on jumping. I wanted to slow motion Miley taking jumps so see what she is doing. She kept dropping a bar on this one jump at home.  I didnt see anything there but when I watched the tape, the first time she took the jump was very weird. And she looks like she it taking off early  on all the sequences too.  Here is Miley taking the jump  three different times. Then there is Java at our lesson taking a small sequence. Its funny, I felt like she was really running fast but when I watch the tape it doesnt look like that.


I dont know why but every time I go to a class with Meagan, the next day I feel terrible. It happens every time so thats why I dont do it when Im working. Weird huh?  Its only 1 1/2 hour drive up and then 1 1/2 hours back. Its an easy drive. I have no idea why it takes it out of me.

I put in for a trial thats about 2 hours, that is a close trial for us ,  from my house in August. I sent my stuff in back in June. I was so excited because school was starting late enough that I could enter. I usually miss this trial because Ive already started work.  They always have a b-match the day before the trial. So I sent all my stuff in. B-match on Wednesday and then the trial Thursday and Friday. Thursday was the only day they are doing Time to Beat.  But I just found out that I have to work registration for school and its on that Wednesday and Thursday. Darn it!!!  Lucky I found out 2 days before the trial closed. So I pulled my entry for Thursday and the b-match. Then put on for Saturday. O'Well I guess thats how things go sometimes.
