Try Again

After reviewing my video from this morning, I have decided to not use it as my Audition tape but rather work on some stuff and try again. I made this decision for a couple reasons
1) We exceeded the time limit by 6 minutes and I can't effectively edit it to make it shorter.
2) Teddy interfered with the shot, and although thats not the main problem, it is still an issue.
3) I didn't effectively show all the games (we went out of shot for our Sideways)
4) I felt like the whole thing was sort of dragging. Just going very slow and tedious.
5) I didn't get to show some of the things we're good at (backing by the tail, bouncing the ball, etc.)
6) I know Woody and I can do better
Although I am very pleased with our play session today, I don't think it was Audition quality. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but I went on Youtube and watched other people's Audition and they were impressive. Much more so than mine. I feel like it is almost the same quality as our Level 1 Audition, and I don't think that will go over well because they look for improvement as you make your way through. Anyways, I will get around to posting up the video I took eventually, and for now I have a few things to work on...
1) getting a more consistent trot around the Figure 8 cones
2) being soft and polite, but getting more from Woody
3) getting a better Sideways off the fence
Once I work on these things I think we will have a stellar Audition. And don't get me wrong, I know Auditions are not supposed to be about perfection, but if I'm going to show Woody and I's relationship off, I want to make sure it is an accurate depiction!
