I'm oddly impressed. Shasta has now been chewing on a rubber toy for close to 30 minutes straight as I write this. Really??
Busy week at work, the Inn and home. But the weather has been too nice to ignore some outdoor training time. I decided to throw in some "grid work" by using the jump uprights, with the bar on the ground, for the first time. It feels younger than I've done it before but, as usual, I don't really remember.
She really seems tireless when training. We're outside with leaves, twigs, grass and dirt and there is very little distraction and she is going 15-20 minutes at a time. And I'm still the one choosing to quit.
As I send Shasta to a "jump", I am using the term "hup". Kris continues to insist that I haven't used the term hup in many years and she hates it, says it reminds her of our early, corrective obedience days. I swear I have always used hup when teaching. I feel sure I never say "jump". It may seem impossible to not know what I use with Sonic or Roxy but it's because I never really use a jump command once they have learned to jump, I don't think I ever use one on course.
Shasta quit chewing, went for some water. I think about 35 minutes total. Her mouth should be tired and sore! Hopefully ready to sleep.
