First Agility Titles

Well, we had another successful weekend at Leatherdale.  Zoe got her last Q's in level 2 Standard and Colors, earning her a Standard and Handler Games title in level 2!  We also got to test out level 3 in Full House, which was a Q, and Jackpot, an NQ.  Zoe did great earning points in the Jackpot opening, but unfortunately, she fell victim to an off course tunnel in the gamble.  But it was fun to try the challenge!  The other runs looked good, but we had some difficulty with some distractions as the dirt at Leatherdale gives off some nice scents (well to dogs, that is).  As much fun as trialing is, I am glad to have a break for a few weeks!! 

11.23.09 - Agility Road Trip Weekend!

Seeing the Zoe was starting to succeed at trials, we decided to go on our first agility road trip with our friends Tracie & Mira and Michelle & Taiko.  Zoe really shined at this trial, having a perfect day on Saturday and only 2 NQ's on Sunday, which were not far from being Q's.  The atmosphere was really similar to our class settings, so I think that really helped build our confidence.  Zoe ran with good energy and focus, so I was happy to see that.  The rest of the road trip went great, except for the van not starting one afternoon!  Having good company made the trip totally worth while.  Best of all, everyone went 7/9 in Q's that weekend!  New videos from that trial are posted on the videos page!
