Agility training

[Finkie_Mom]

Soooooo Kimma has always had natural running contacts. But of course, now that she's getting faster and more confident about things, she's started leaping off and missing contacts (just at the past two weeks during class, and not on every contact, thankfully). But that does mean that I have to now go back and do a 2o2o. Which is honestly probably safer for us since I'm a green handler, she's a green dog, and she's FAST... But STILL. Not pleased. BLAAAAAHHHHHH

Luckily my new training gig lands me awesome perks like free reign at a training facility all day on Saturdays

(I'm going to need it!)

Zuma and I have been dinking around in CPE, not really going to many trials unless it fit the schedule and only doing one day. As a result we are still in level 2, but I'm hoping to change that so that we can (with any luck) get to play at the CPE Nationals in 2014 when they will be local to us. We finished 3 level 2 titles this weekend, just need a level 2 Jackpot run and we'll be in level 3 for everything. Then we just need to finish those and have 30 Q's to make it in. So cross your fingers that we get into all the trials!

Here are some runs from this weekend:

Level 3 Jumpers. I didn't believe she was going to take the double since her line was off, but she did and of course I wasn't anywhere close to where I was supposed to be. She saved my butt on that one.


Level 2 Standard

Oh and Zinga got to play on the lowered dogwalk last night! So happy with her progress.

Good job Zuma!

Here's a video of Recon from last week... a small sequence, but it was SO nice working with a dog that would drive to the next obstacle, instead of Frag whom I'm used to, having to run completely to every obstacle with him... big difference and SUCH a relief!

And here are a few pictures from our class...

Awesome!!, lovely distance skills

[SaraB]

Thanks Shai and Ado!

The video for Recon doesn't work?

[Sekah]

Yeah, Zuma has some wonderful distance skills. Very nice!

[DJEtzel]

I seriously have the worst luck at video posting.. Here it is. It's nothing really fancy anyway, I just love that he will work away from me!

Zuma's distance is so nice, speedy and smooth! I also love the baby dogwalk!
