My dogs don't have an issue with these things, but they certainly slow ME down considerably ;) Montana doesn't have any clubs that I know of that have their own buildings where they can choose surfacing...everyone either rents or borrows for trials and training.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360536784952210208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-66408032807413950732011-02-02T07:35:58.930-08:002011-02-02T07:35:58.930-08:00Luke has that issue as well -- He always swims at ...Luke has that issue as well -- He always swims at home, but he gets this funky double-step (not even a hop, he crosses his paws, which is really bad...) at trials. It gets better in Weavers because I really, really push him -- But I let him do what is comfortable in Regular because time isn't an issue. But WHY he only does it at trials is a mystery -- Especially since I have the exact same weave poles at home that they do at Family Dog Center...<br /><br />Re: Mats -- Unfortunately, it's a popular surface around here. In past years we are lucky to see one dirt trial per year, but a club in the Cities found a new location and will be having multiple trials in a horse arena in 2011. We are looking forward to it! I far prefer natural surfaces.Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-83166322606108130722011-02-02T07:26:46.009-08:002011-02-02T07:26:46.009-08:00Awesome videos :) My dogs and I have never run on ...Awesome videos :) My dogs and I have never run on a matted surface before...interesting. Congrats again to Luke! <br /><br />My Holly has has some differences with weaves too...she has a lovely swim in both 22" and 24" poles everwhere we training, but general hops them instead at trials (which are almost all 24" now). Don't know what to do about that...Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360536784952210208noreply@blogger.com
