Well, unfortunately this trial didn’t go very well. Neither team was able to come home with a qualifying run. Let me break it down…
Jumpers:
Indy started off well though Chauncey did not. And though there were some handling mishaps, its still clear that Indy needs to work on his weave poles.
Sydney broke her sit stay, and Bridget did the right thing by not continuing the course.
Standard:
Both teams clearly need to work on their tire. Each dog would miss the first obstacle. Syd got a little to excited/agitated and started running across different obstacles, and Bridget was forced yet again to end the run short. Indy decided to end the run early on his own, by running out of the ring – forcing the judge to whistle him out.
We didn’t compete on Sunday, as Chauncey got food poisoning. Though it was a rough day on Saturday, the AKC trial was slightly successful as we were see some improvement in Indy’s temperament around other dogs and in the environment. We might not compete anytime in the near future, but we’ll both be practicing!
Thanks for reading!
