Spend Sunday at K9 sports at Littleport, the aim was to concentrate on NFC's to work on Rommys waits and A frame and dogwalk stop position. First off was the beginners jumping which was going to be for wait practice. He did some lovely waits in there and definitely need to be really going to try and be strong with them at shows now, no springing even if he does fly off over the first jump. Being able to practise in the ring with them really did help with him though because he really did a lovely wait.
We haven't really done all that much with dog walks since Rommys been better what with retraining the A frame and everything. His stop position at the end has always been good at training but he just tends to forget at shows with all the major excitement so really wanted to work on that and make him get it. So we did the beginners agility NFC to do dog walks and a frames. We did 3 A frames the first one I'm pretty sure he missed (my eyes find it really hard keeping up with him) and then the two after he got, they were a bit high but his first few always are at training so I'm happy with that. Managed to get in a couple of dog walks as well, first one he did what he normally does and flew and then the second one was perfect! Great! Really happy with his mornings work there!
After his morning of NFC's he had a nice long break to chill in the car. We were planning on doing Split pairs with Rhoda and Brodie but poor Toad had a really unlucky day and hurt his foot/leg and was lame. Hope you feel better soon Brodie! Lucky Rhoda managed to borrow an amazing little poodle called Tia who's nearly 13! You really wouldn't guess shes 13 because shes pretty speedy! I had a bit of a near clash of runs with pairs with a the novice steeplechase but I ended up lucky and managed to get into the ring first to have a go at our first Novice. I have to say Rommy was nothing but WILD. His rest in the car had clearly charged his batteries because our wait practice was out the window BAD Jenni! but there was no way he would ever have waited because he was just a complete nutcase, I don't think hes EVER gone that fast at a show before! Of course he got E'd but I really couldn't help but laugh at him because he was just a complete fruit cake. Maybe resting in the car for that long wasn't such a good idea? One thing that was a great idea was doing that Novice before the Pairs because he had got the crazy out of his system, luckily I was running second so I had a bit of time to get my breathe back. Rommy was running over Toy height as well so I knew it was going to be a challenge but he did a lovely Clear and so did Tia! GO TEAM! I am so happy with how he worked! We were running second and whenever we've tried to run him second before he was just too distracted with the other dog but he was just a star! He even got his weaves with a tunnel sitting right at the end which has always been tricky for him so I was just so happy! lol! Sorry I'm rambling.
Haven't got any videos but I found some cute puppy piccys instead :D .
