I've worked a lot on getting Java to run fast. How did I do this? By getting her to chase me. Send her into a tunnel and run like heck. I have also been doing lots of restrained recalls. So now she thinks everything is about chasing me. Ive had a hard time getting her to take jumps at speed. If I walk by them, no problem. But once Im running, she would just chase me and not take any jumps. LOL So now Ive been working on getting her to take jumps while running. (Ill tell you a secret. Ive been worried that Java was going to be slower than Miley. And then people would say, "Yea she couldnt run her fast dog so she got a slower one)
Today I took the dogs out to the field for a short practice. Its still hot as heck. Well I was so shocked when Java just took off running. Took all the jumps and went to the tunnel without me babysitting each jump. Whoohoo!!
Wishing you a Warm Holiday

I believe that speed comes with confidence and understanding. Jave looks fast, and like she is having fun. Good for you!!!
