We went for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was pretty chilly but up from what it had been. Needed to get Pixie tired so she wouldn't throw a fit being left alone. It has been so warm this was the first time we left her alone as she couldn't keep her in the truck while we did agility.

Wyatt did very well in class. We practiced sending them to the tunnel. I need to remember to keep pointed in the direction of where I am sending him. My hips and shoulders were going in different directions. Wyatt is kind enough to let me know when I screw up by not doing it and barking at me in frustration. While waiting we practiced our turns. Wyatt is very good. One of our classmates dogs went after another dog twice.

On the other side we went through the hoola hoops. First, throwing the tug through the first hoop and then the second. We then went through the first hoop and then throwing through the second and then did the A-frame and hoops. We practiced our bottoms. D complimented Wyatt as he was doing them correctly.

We went to the barn and did a cruise around with the pack. Pixie has been having issues with her paws being cut slightly by the ice crust.

Saddled up Rocky, using my leathers and irons but K's saddle. Not liking it a all. He was really nervous. I pulled out the f'nheimer and this helped a bit. I wonder if he is sound. He started out skittish and then he did his head bobbing thing. Not sure if this was him not being ready yet. Did a little ride to get our feet wet again.
