And our jumpers run from today, dropped a bar which is weird for her and I was late with my rear cross at the end. But happy otherwise!

Yay Team Zuma!!! She is a little speedster

And FWIW I don't think you were late with your RX in the second vid -- your line of motion just didn't let her know what jump you wanted her to take. If anything your RX was a little early since she didn't see/commit to the obstacle you wanted before you converged on her path, if that makes sense?

The bar into the tunnel thing tends to happen when dogs try to go into the tunnel before they clear the bar though I couldn't tell in the vid if something else came to play.

You guys really look so good together!!!

True. I didn't watch it too closely, but I see what you are saying.

She was jumping a bit funny, so I'm not sure if she was in fact rushing the bar or what.

OMG Zuma is awesome!!! WTG!!!

Here's some video of Kimma at class. I'm bummed our trial was canceled last weekend due to Sandy (but I totally understand why and hope that area is recovering ), so that's it for us for the year. Hoping to refine our skills and be able to finish up Novice and get right in to Open ASAP. I had to prop my camera up on a chair so you can't see everything as well as I would have liked...

Last week was uneventful. Summer is freaking awesome and Mia is doing well too but being a little bit distracto-dog lately. My trainer is out at a SG workshop this week/end so no class this week. Kind of bummed, agility is the best part of the week.

Looks great! How old is she now? 7ish months?

Now the question on everyone's mind (well actually probably just mine LOL)...what are your contact plans?

Yup, 7.5 months.

We are doing 2o2o. I'm very happy running Zuma with her stopped contacts, I rely on them with her being a fast dog and I utilize the quick releases when I need them. After having watched a lot of handlers with RC and a lot with 2o2o, as pretty as RC are, I just feel like there are a lot more benefits to stopped.

LOL I was envious at how light she is while your whipping her around with her tug. Roust is 7 months and I can't really lift him by the tug any more LOL
