Finally the time has come to put school thoughts aside and start packing for Champs!! This weekend I was pretty nervous about how ready Ce monster and I were but now Im just anxious excited! It really helped my confidence to do alphabet drill "A" yesterday for start line stays and front crosses; I rarely do fronts because I don't think I'm ever fast enough to!). Today I was debating between taking CeCe for a bike ride or doing agility. I decided to finish prepping for for Champs by doing some weave proofing tonight. This weave proofing also turned into major start line stay practice (She may even hold it at Champs now! *knock on wood*) and also some "go on" distance work as well as some jump/weave distance discrimination so I could mock the handling I would do for the contact discriminations. I still need to work on communicating more and not just relying on my body, someone remind me later?

After the session tonight I felt AMAZING because CeCe NAILED her "Go On" command and was doing everything I told her (even if I didnt mean to haha). Her weave entries and forward motion is awesome, I even stood at the first pole and she weaved the hole set with just my verbals urging her. Start line stays are still a little jumpy but this whole session I did the Tori Self dance which helped proof the wait. WE SHALL SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
