!@#$%

Yep I hate failure, I hate being wrong, I hate screwing up.  Now that I got that off my chest I can compose myself :) and try to fix the problem.

This morning weather is crappy, footing is crappy and I wasn't 100% into it.  Iggy and I walked down the driveway and I let him hit the end and sniff, I saw him catch a sniff and start to go but it was too late I called and he kept going and going.  I attempted to hide but that required me walking into 2 feet of wet snow so it took a while I saw him look back but of course could still see me and kept going.  I said screw it and started to walk home but then thought that was just telling him go out have a good time and come home when you are done.  So out on the road I went, it was glare ice with water, a broken leg waiting to happen.  The shoulders were soft so the going was very slow.  By the time I had gotten half way to the driveway for the house across the street Iggy came out from the back of the house and ran at good speed all the way to me.  I praised him smiled and we went home.  I am sure I should have played keep away but I just didn't feel like it and was worried about the footing.  He looked at the house once I called him back and we went home with no more incidence and straight into the crate.

I really didn't want to go to the barn but went and Iggy was great.  We did the setup from Friday again and he did it really well starting to turn I worked very hard on my not moving.  We did 2 reps of that with just 2 jumps turn back on a wrap and reward.  I did standing beside the standard and waiting to see if he would take the jump repeated 5 times and he did it great.  We then did two reps of run through the jumps and threw the toy ahead.  We also worked on the teeter running over it with a 30 degree angle for the entry I was standing half way down the teeter.  On the first rep I moved when he hit the pivot on the 2nd rep I stayed still until he hit the end.  He rode the drop (plank on 2" jump bar) no problem.

We still have class tonight, I will work him only bits and put him in the car after the first class.
