*sigh* WELL, we’re back! Things are going really well with us both, very much looking forward to a summer/fall of tons of dock and agility competitions - BUT, we have hit a bit of a plateau. Tractor catches on to stuff fairly quickly and usually does pretty well - but these darn weave poles are going to be the thorn in our side.
we are training 3x a week - and just when we think we are making headway, and he is getting it.. he just gets lazy and completely stops trying. It’s extremely frustrating, because when he is SUPER motivated to go - he’ll bob and weave like he’s been doing it for years, but then the next day, he flies right by them as if he has never seen them before! 
we are training 4x next week and the week after, to try getting things ready for his next trial. Memorial Day weekend, we are doing a dock event on Friday and then an agility event on Saturday and I really want to make the trip worth it - whether or not we Q in a class, I really want him to get those weaves!
My wonderful instructor also sent us home with a set of weaves that I have set up in the grass. He has to work for his food daily, so now, since his contacts are pretty solid - I am making him weave for his food.
Anyway, that’s all that’s really new with us - we’ll be sure to update soon - hopefully before our 3 week trip to Chicago, but
