jump work

I've really had to work on Ellie's jumping lately since she's been knocking bars like heck. It was rainy yesterday and "misting" today so it was wet out. I didn't really want to go out just to work on one jump so I just set one up inside. I set it at 22", and had her go over it a few times. She hit it a couple of times, and I think it's because she's taking off to late, she just needs to watch her feet better.

I then set it at 24", just to see. No knocked bars! Hurrah! I think we're going to slowly build our way up to a sequence all over again to see if that will help, starting with them all in front of each other, then work on odd angle jumping with just one then start adding more.

I also worked on her distance since it's sometimes difficult for my velcro dog to comprehend. (x She did excellent actually, only needing a re-do like twice and we did a lot from all different angles.

I'm so proud of my girlie. (: Can't wait to start weaving her! Haven't decide on 2x2 or channels...
