Dog Vegas Agility Show - 08/10/16

Ethel was awesome again at the Dog Vegas Agility Show. It may not have been the most successful competition the we have attended, and although we picked up some minor faults in some of our runs, Ethel did me proud and worked her little paws off.

Ethel

She came 3rd in Combined 5-7 Agility and 2nd in Grade 6 Jumping! Her other runs were brilliant, even if they did include a couple of small errors that are all fixable in time. This was the first day of properly trying out her running contacts on the A-Frame, and she did at least get one. She was extremely close on the other ones, and I know that running contacts take time and patience to fully master. And, considering that we have both shot up the Grades extremely quickly as a competitive pair, Ethel is doing me proud on the more difficult courses that we are faced with. I can see that the future is bright for us; I just have to learn to be more patient and remember that the journey is just as important as the final destination.
