Hot class & Toy motivation

Last week it was in the mid-80's for class so it was a hot one! This time at class we used Mocca's pink squeaky nubby ball for motivation. She dearly loves this ball. So when it was our turn to run the course I took it out of my pouch & showed it to her then put it away. I have to say she ran pretty well!!! We had some tough courses going on, and most mistakes were just on my part - but she did not take off to some other part of the arena or stop mid-course to find some stray treat on the ground. We even successfuly did the weaves TWICE. A little slow, but we did every single one of them! So I think we will continue with the toy motivation.

Next week is our "last" class of this 6 week run so we are having a "match" where both competitive classes will run a real course and be timed & everything. Sorta like what we did the other week for the open house. I am hoping for much better results this time around!
