WESSON

Mr. Wesson is finally making progress and seems to be headed in the right direction.  As you know last October he suddenly and unexpectedly ran into some issues. Mainly he became horrified of everything to do with agility... The judge, the obstacles, the jumps and the thought of working inside the ring... Event after event we struggled just to get him to stay in the building... Then we struggled to have him stay in the ring... Then it was getting him ok with the judge (male and female).. then it was working the jumps, 1 jump out, then 2 jumps out and so on... Contacts came last ...
Each Friday night if there was a  run thru at Queen City we were there.  We have not Q'ed since October of 2012... I wish I could say we have not run nor entered any trials but I felt the way to get him over the issues were to hit them head on... little successes and little triumphs... With each step making sure he was successful and had appositive good time.. Lots of trials, lots of disappointments and a lot f frustration..
We seem to be getting there as he pretty much completed a course in spite of my sometimes poor handling and positioning.. Great contacts, much improved weaves and the speed and focus was greatly improved... He is happy and running and we are making real progress... Maybe just maybe we are back on track...
Here is his August 9 run at Queen City (Thanks Cindy for the video)
