Snelleman Seminar
It was a big weekend. Bea and I took Dottie up to Champoeg State Park and spent four nights. I did all the driving, Bea slept. It was my first solo outing and I had some anxiety about the whole thing but we got there safe and sound. Unfortunately this time I had electrical issues so had to run the lights off the battery. With these short dark days the battery didn't last long. It was dark. And it was really cold but the heater worked like a charm. This is all a steep learning curve. Here's Bea waiting for dinner on the day we arrived. The last nice day with any light.
Luckily most of the time I was at the seminar. Desiree Snelleman is wonderful! She 's positive, engaging, encouraging, and was able to work with all handlers and dogs. Here's a snippet of learning the K turn. I am not a natural that's for sure. (That noise you hear in the background is RAIN).
Here's Bea showing her nose prowess. Love her teeter move.
We all learned to push ourselves (push it, push it real good) and I've come away with a long list of things to work on. Very long. First off is teaching Bea about the magic box and then more work on weave entries.
