FUN IN SHREVEPORT

We went to Shreveport the weekend of March 14-16 for AKC Agility. Miss Kalea-Kate had a good weekend. She earned her Excellent FAST Title and Excellent JWW and T2B legs. I cost us 2 Q's by sending her to the wrong end of the tunnel. Have no idea why I did it but it is very clear on video that it was my fault. One of her JWW runs, she apparently read the course map ahead of me but she read it incorrectly and went off course.   :)


The table continues to be a pain in my butt. KK has it in her head that she doesn't have to do it in a trial and it is slowly killing me. She comes to a complete stop at the table and either runs around it or stands there and barks at me. I can get her on the table, but by then we have incurred so many refusals that we NQ. Sunday she actually got on it right away and then......hopped off. OMG! The TABLE is going to kill me!!


Saturday we had some beautiful runs that earned us much needed Q's. She was absolutely precious at the start line of JWW when she couldn't get off the start line because she was watching a cowboy on the side. Once I got her attention, she ran a beautiful run.




It was a great trial for us. It was in a new venue with shredded rubber over sand. It was a difficult surface to run on as a handler, but KK handled it well and 'burned rubber' all weekend!!

We have 2 more trials coming up, one each in AKC and USDAA and then we are on a break until summer.
