Lots Of Agility To Be Done!

... yep! We just signed up for two new agility trials in January - one not this weekend but next, and another the following weekend! We didn't have one scheduled until it came to Vegas in February, but I didn't want to wait, so we signed for up two more. We are doing a NADAC trial in Phoenix the 9th-10th, and then an AKC trial in Van Nuys, CA the 17th.

For the NADAC one, we are going to do Weavers and TnGo on Friday, and then two rounds of Standard and two rounds of Jumpers and a Chances run on Saturday. If he Qs in his TnGo, he will have his very first agility title! I am very excited about all of the runs we have to do in those two days.

For the AKC one, I only entered one day, because they aren't even offering FAST, so we're just going to go down for the day, stay at my aunts overnight, then head home the next morning. We are doing a JWW and Standard. He only has 1 leg in each of those, so even on our best day, he won't get any AKC titles, but at least he'll be closer to it. We have a few more AKC trials coming up - I'd like us to be in OPEN everything by the time we make it to Chicago this summer.. so fingers crossed!

Pebbles and him both start group classes the 2nd week in January, so maybe by the time the NADAC trial in March comes to Vegas, I can enter her in a tunnelers run or maybe a TnGo - I doubt she'll have her weaves by then.. so any class w/o weaves, we may give a go, depending on how class goes. :)

I made a video from Tractor's birthday agility lesson, so here it is:
