Sooooo

Memphis didn't turn out as well as I had envisioned it! I did not get any 3.8's much less 3.9's. Juice got 4.0's with a pass but I just couldn't figure out why not the 3.9's. We went to Championships in Nashville and still no 3.9's. I was still dumbfounded as to why not. I don't think it was lack of conditioning because I am obsessed with that.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to put the cone in so in warm-ups all dogs would have a similar set up. I noticed with the cone that she had the spin that I hadn't seen in months. A quick on and off. Why hadn't I realized before that she didn't have the spin? I don't know. I had been concerned with her being wide for quite sometime but did not think about the cone. I have been practicing her with the cone for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure how much it will help for our BSPD tournament this weekend but over the winter I will continue. She may leap and double stride for a time but I think she will get the spin and 3 strides back. Therefore she will get 3.9's again. I have to stay on top of it so she and I stay on the A team.
