This past sunday was our first actual agility trial. This means that I couldn't use any food in the ring, and I couldn't touch my dog. It also means that we were being timed. Abby did quite well for her first trial. She took all the obstacles without ever being treated and her tail was wagging non-stop - a few times she even did a mini-yahoo! My only *complaint* is that my dog us too social in the ring. She keeps trying to go over to people to say hi. She never goes up to anyone ever! Yet she all of a sudden wants to meet the pole setters and the judge!!! Who is this dog????
The video was expertly brought to you by 4 legged flix. They go to a lot of the shows and other dog events and take wonderful video. I totally <3 them.
This was the first run of the day: a jumpers course. Abby ran it in 59.41 sec (1.63 y/s - kinda slow). It felt like an eternity out there - especially when she visited the pole setter.
The second run was a standard course. She ran this one in 67.99 sec (2 y/s - faster!!!). This dog walk was was different then the last one that she ran on here, so it took her a few seconds before she decided if she wanted to take it or not.But once she got going, it was all fun and games - especially on that A-frame!
We did a third run, it was a tunnelers course. Abby did great at the beginning, but I think she got a little bored because she decided that she was done 3/4 of the way through...We didn't buy that video...
