The dogs had a brilliant weekend at Agility Nuts! Ethel blew everyone away once again, running her little paws off in all of her runs! She came home with an absolutely massive haul of winnings and we had so much fun running as a pair.
Ethel won Jumping and Power & Speed, came 2nd in Jumping, TFO Jumping and Pairs Jumping (which we and our partners ran in the fastest time with an unlucky five faults) and we were given the Judge's Special award in Agility for a fabulous run that I redid her dog walk in for training purposes after she jumped her contact! It is important that I think about our Agility career in the longterm and ensure that she doesn't pick up any bad habits that could cause difficulty in the future. She then did a wonderfully perfect two-on-two-off contact on her A-Frame following the dog walk redo in the same run! Training in the ring following a mistake definitely serves well. Her and I had an amazing time and came home accompanied by a humungous haul of winnings!
I only entered Earl into two classes - an Agility and a Jumping - on the Saturday, and he went Clear in both of them! He may be slower dog, but he is reliable. He thoroughly enjoyed sunbathing all day on the Sunday, bless him! He had a happy and chilled out day.
Once again another amazingly successful Agility competition for us!
A big congratulations!
