Pirouette-What we have to work on!

Pirouette is: Very fast, very obstacle focused, and very sensitive

These are the things I keep in mind when training her. I have found, in my last 2 trials, that she turns wide and does not refocus on the obstacle in front of her. I have to really work to bring her back in. Twice, in trials, she has missed the a-frame. At first I thought it was a-frame avoidance, is actually a lack of focus when she is running full speed and turning. That was evident in her UKI run; she was not pointed directly at the a-frame and missed it. The same thing happened at the NADAC Trial last weekend. We will try working on an RFP to see if that will bring her in.
