The last two classes of this session went MUCH better than the one I wrote about below. (Thank goodness!)
At the grand finale -- a course of 10 obstacles -- Henry shocked me by not only dashing through the chute like it was nothing, but also by going right into the weaves. He wasn't fast by any means, but he got the entry right and didn't hesitate.
We did two runs of the 10 obstacle course. Our first run was good, except we almost ran into each other as he came down the A-frame and I did a front cross. On the second run, the A-frame was smoother, but I screwed up the entry to the tunnel, so that wasn't at all smooth. What most amazes me is his focus when he gets started, and that he maintains a sit-stay at the start line with all the other dogs and people around -- dogs and people that he is very aware of until he starts the course.
So, one of my two goals for this class were met. Henry's now doing the chute completely closed. Woohoo!
