YEP! It’s official, we are registered and ready to go for next weekend! March 8/9 - we will be running one standard course, two jumpers courses, one touch-n-go course and one tunnelers course. I am SO very excited!! We have had two practices this week, and we’ll have three next week to prepare him for the trial.
Today in class, we ran a 20 obstacle course, including 6weaves - and quite a bit of handling with some jumps. He has kind of regressed on his contacts, so we need to work that more, he is hitting them, but not holding the stay. Turd! He did great on the Teeter.. about half and half on the dogwalk, and then almost never on the A-frame. His weaves are coming along nicely - I know next week, we need to really push for straightening them up, because they still are not completely vertical.
I am SO nervous about the trial.. I think he will do fine, but its more me.. remembering where to go and my handling. Eeeek! It should be fun though. Becky is going to come out and take pics.. so hopefully I can get one other person to come out and video. The weekend after the agility, there is a Splash Dogs event in Phoenix, that we’ll be driving down to - (staying with Amy and her family.. yay!). Becky, Lenny and Loder are coming as well! WOOHOO! I hope the weather cooperates and its a bit warmer.. if its not going to be at least in the high 60’s - 70’s.. we probably won’t make the drive.. because I don’t want to waste the time or money if he won’t jump.. or jump to his potential.
Anyway, that’s all that’s new with us - just prepping for that trial.. and hopefully Splash Dogs.. Some pictures from practice today are here:
