Wind Sprints

This dog is a freak. There is nothing she will not try. I have added wind sprints to the bike rides lately. She ROCKS.

BOOM, BOOM, POW

Last weekend in Henry I was at my wits end with attempting to fix the stride. I worked on it all winter. I worked from November until now and had no clue of what to do next. I was about ready to give up or I did give up I am not sure which. Angie told me if it was her dog she would run her. She also told me she thought that if Juice was just able to get out there and play and have fun that she would eventually put in 3 strides. I bit the bullet. I put on my big girl panties like Denise told me to and I just ran Juice all day on Sunday. To my surpise she had many 3 strides throughout the day. I am very happy, Juice is extremely happy, and the team is estatic that I am happy.

Juice is not all the way there with the strides but I see that she will be one day. She ran many 4.0?s with a pass. I'm hoping as time goes on and she get's comfortable with running that she will be sub 4 with her passes. Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

still workin' the spin

Since my last post Juice and I have still been working the spin move. At the last practice at WOOF I had someone release her at 50 feet and I would pull her off of the box. Sometimes it would be a spin and other times a pull straight off. I'm still working with the 2 stride 3 stride. She is getting more of the 3 than the 2 but we are still not where I want to be. I know we will be soon. I have been using the stride regulator (12 inch ruler)to remind her to take that extra step. I'm excited about going to Henry this weekend but I think her role will be the same as the last tourney and warm ups will be about it. We will see.
