loosening up :)

or just lazy depending on how you look at it :)

While doing start line practice with AMP the other day I had an epiphany (thank god for spell check I couldn't spell that word to save my soul)! What it was, is that I have really gotten less controlling about my training and "rules" in training. Not in just the beginning, but all around :D I have let my controlling behavior get pushed aside, to allow things to sometimes be what they are going to be or not be.

The place I see it the most is with AMP because I am just starting with her. Perfect example was yesterday...AMP has decided that we should no longer wait..Ha Ha Ha AMP you are so funny! She believes that waiting is a HUGE F*ing waste of time and who the heck wants to sit when you could scooch OR as soon as your mom turns her back run up so you are now right next to her..EVIL..but love her :) If this would of happened when I started Jinx I have no doubt that I would of gotten frustrated MADE him wait and in return would of annoyed him and turned a simple start line into something he didn't like :/ well would you look at that IT IS EXACTLY WHAT I FRICKEN DID!! This is why Jinx doesn't have a start line and if he does feel generous to give me a little bit the start line definitely isn't something to write home about. So what will I do about AMP's? no a darn thing! I really don't care I am more concerned right now that she is having fun and WANTS to play the game...if waiting is too much for her then fine..scooch your heart away honey!

This isn't the only thing...I am going SOO much slower with her I to be perfectly honest probably don't do half the agility exercises that I could or should, instead we do tricks :) We love our tricks and I just let her be a dog!

See I can sit pwety :)

If her start line isn't perfect, weave poles aren't fast enough, jumping isn't the perfect style, or she can't have a sliding teeter...is it really the end of the world? gosh no! Letting her do what she likes and is comfortable with is what is going to allow her to be the most comfortable out on the course and in the end she will be the fasts that way!

This is the same case with Jinx and he LOVES it :D and I LOVE seeing that!

Bye Bye :)
