He&#8217;s still sore, but mostly\u00a0hobbling instead of three-legging it. We&#8217;re getting him in to see a PT and hopefully that will give us some information\u00a0that gets him back in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Delta has given me some much needed levity. <!--more-->Or just downright silliness. Tonight was the third\u00a0class in our five week session and we spent most of the night on\u00a0the contact obstacles. We&#8217;re familiar with the dogwalk, A-frame, and a teeter set up for limited motion so this was mostly old hat for me and Delta. While others focused on introducing their dogs to the equipment, Delta and I got in some good reps of 2 on\/2 off. A target at the end of the obstacle and my &#8220;bottom&#8221; command had her stopping nicely in the yellow. Not surprisingly, the little obedience dog wants to turn into me if I stand on her right so we&#8217;ll need to work keeping the back feet in place when I&#8217;m &#8220;off sides&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_875\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-875\" class=\"size-large wp-image-875\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg?resize=590%2C983\" alt=\"Very serious... seriously cute.\" width=\"590\" height=\"983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg?resize=180%2C300&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg?resize=614%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 614w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/all-around-dogs.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/deltabottom.jpg?w=1180 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Very serious&#8230; seriously cute.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It has been great to\u00a0have this outlet for Delta.
