Activity: agility (12hrs)
09.09.2015 - Training today was horrible. Jacky was chewing on his strap, he was barking at every dog, he was running aimlessly in every direction possible. In some ways it was my fault, because I'm too slow for him, because I'm scared of making mistakes. We started with easy running exercises and moved on to the same path we did last time. My dog is now fast but he is too all-over-the-place now. Also we did A-frame, see-saw and slalom (improved).
13.09.2015 - Today we did a longer path which seemed easy at first, but it definitely was not. It contained a lot of hand switching and turns. Later we did salom, A-frame and dog walk. Slalom has improved a lot lately and Jacky was really energetic today.

I don't have much to talk about each individual class anymore, because they are quite repetitive and we keep doing the same things.
Since I broke my toe in October, we had to skip a lot of classes and if we attended to some of them, I could not do many activities. But still, my dog keeps improving and also since there have been less classes, he is more energetic if we finally go to the training. He has improved with slalom and see-saw (he used to be scared of it).
Due to some familiy issues I will not be able to continue with agility until june 2016.

Activity: Agility (6hrs)
10.08.2015 - This time we practiced a lot of waltz moves, because they are hard to do, when your dog runs fast. Waltz moves were practiced on the path - we did small parts of longer path. In the end we did also dogwalk and A-frame.
12.08.2015 - For the path we used the same one as in the last training but we ran the whole path. Later we did easy running path with no waltz moves. In the end we did dogwalk, A-frame and see-saw.
19.08.2015 - We did again a small but quite difficult path which contained a lot of waltz moves. When the other dogs were running I practiced slalom with Jacky. In the end we did see-saw, dogwalk and A-frame. Jacky has improved massively - he is excited to be running the path and he enjoys it a lot, excitement makes him also a lot faster.
26.08.2015 - Similar training to the last one.
30.08.2015 - Today we trained for the competition which is going to be the day tomorrow. In the end we did A-frame and see-saw. Jacky did well today and I hope that in the competiton he runs with me and doesn't get lost in the middle of the path)
(Competiton on 01.09.2015 - we got the 2nd place on A0-A1 mini-midi)
06.09.2015 - We did quite complicated path, which can be done many different ways. Jacky was doing really well and he is improving a lot - he is also much faster than he has ever been. There are some problems with slalom, but it is that because of my mistakes.

Service: helping at kindergarten (6 hrs)
27.08.2015 - When I got there, children were still sleeping. When they got up they ate and later I helped them to get dressed. Since it was pretty day outside we decided to go out and played there.
28.08.2015 - Since it was raining, we couldn't go outside. Inside we played with puzzles, draw and I taught to one of the kids different types of cars. Before leaving I helped kids to get ready for bedtime.

Activity: agility (6hrs)
15.06.15 / 17.06.15 / 21.06.15 - All these three trainings were really similar. We did A1 paths and also in between we did tire jump and see-saw. See-saw was sometimes inside the path as well and there were a-frame, dogwalk and weave poles. Jacky was not really interested in training for some reason especially in 17th june - he did not want to do anything. In conclusion in all trainings the paths were quite similar, my dog was acting as usual (not so well) and it was training more for me, to remember certain movements.
30.06.15 - We did A1 path and our trainer thought, that in our next competition we are ready to compete in A1 path. Although Jacky did not want to do anything and I had to run also with my trainers dog - Cero (papillon). This made Jacky a bit more interested in running, but I still can't figure out why he has been so lazy and uninterested in running.
03.08.2015 - This training went really well considering that we had a month long break. We did simple paths including only jumps and tunnels. Between doing the path we also did a-frame, dogwalk and slalom. Also other trainer thought us how to get your dog more hyped up by playing. Jacky was very energetic and he loved todays training.
05.08.2015 - Training was similar to the last one. Jacky keeps improving and it seems that he likes the training every time even more. Problem is that next to our place there is another training as well, there are trained A3 class dogs, who are really fast - Jacky sometimes is more entertained by them and forgets that he has to be training as well. In the end we did some small exercises - A-frame and dogwalk.

Service: Seto Folk volunteer (14hrs)
Seto Folk (26.06-28.06.15) is a festival in Värska, that is very popular in Estonia. Music which is played there is traditional Estonian music (folk music). Mostly there are no paid people working there and instead they are using volunteers. I got a place there as being a parking ticket seller and helped also with parking regulation. On Friday I had to work 3 hours, on Saturday 6 hours and on Sunday 5 hours.

Activity: Agility (6hrs)
03.05.2015 - We started training with medium length path, but it was challenging because it had two times for cuttings or back cuttings. Since Jacky was again, really active and energetic, it was really hard for me to be faster than him. After that we did again a-frame-tunnel-tire jump-collapsed tunnel. This time it went really well, Jacky jumped trough tire jump without any failures. At the end of the lesson, we did again the path and Jacky pervaded it better than the first time.
07.05.2015 - Today the training was outside for the first time (in Lohkva we are always outside, but there is artificial grass), so the grass was really wet and it was uncomfortable. We started with quite complicated path, but when we tried it through few times it came out really well. Jacky was energetic as always, but he started to get a bit bored and tired so we did path including 5 jumps and 1 tunnel, all placed in a round - dogs liked it, because it was easy and fun. In the end we also did see-saw.
11.05.2015 - We started with easy exercise including tunnel and 2 jumps. Then we moved on with some more difficult moves, which were inside the path, also we did a-frame and dogwalk (both were also inside the path). Path was really difficult and long, trainer also said, that it was basically A1 level path excluding weave poles. Training was tiring, but luckily Jacky was really eager to run and he liked the path + he performed path really well.
14.05.2015 - Today we had lesson outside again, but I liked it this time more, because grass wasn't that wet than last time. At first we did two shorter paths, both with tunnels and jumps. Both were a bit difficult because of the tunnels. Then we did weave poles and then longer path, which contained also second of the shorter paths, but overall the long path was quite easy. In the end we also did see-saw. Jacky was energetic today, but there were a lot of interesting smells, which were more important for him than the path.
17.05.2015 - Training was awful today - it was pouring rain and therefore it meant that Jacky was not really happy to be on agility place and run there. In the beginning, when it wasn't raining that bad, we did tire jump, collapsed tunnel and a-frame. Later we tried to do really long path, what didn't came out that well, because of the weather conditions.
21.05.2015 - This was our last training before 3 week break and competition, which will be on 23rd of May. We did short exercises and a lot of weave poles. Also we did A0 type path and filmed it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PptzyAPmDQ
