Lulu & Minnie

 A cold and rainy Saturday that we spent at agility fields! Judge Anastassia Tamm First jumping courses, in the first course I got a bit careless and we got refusal (-5). Other than that nice. Speed 4.79m/s and 2nd place! Second jumping went very well and we got clean run (speed 5.14 m/s) and 1st place.  Got to try the flicking move! Worked! I was very happy of the slaloms, solid entries! Kids: Then our agility course debut, first bar down, jumped A-frame, then I somehow was babysitting the slalom and screwed my handling witch resulted DSQ - wrong side of the jump. Witch resulted starting together the dog-walk - jump...then in the end a fly see-saw, that I got to repair.  I think that for the second course I managed to do a bit better job. Minnie got lost only twice :) Dog walk was not nice. A-frame she jumped. Got DSQ from going to the other end of the tunnel. Here are all the videos:

First, here is a video from Minnie training, where we are prepping for agility course (dog-walk training) but also slalom and in the very end a bit of Obedience because, in a confusion moment I registered Minnie to an rally obedience competition :) For now we can go regularly for a walk with both :) Summer in the garden: In the end of June we went to camping:

Our second agility competition. Still (and the last time) only on the jumping courses.  Minnie was measured by 2 different judges this time and the final fixed measure was 37-38cm.  Judge Anastassia Tamm. Both courses were clean runs and 1st places. I felt that this time I was a bit more bold to run. Of course not lie in training. Im still hesitant to make more difficult handling... Anyway Minnie got her jumping SERT and right to move to second class in jumping! We had fun day with family!

First official competition! It was held in a dog hall completely new for Minnie in Tallinn, Judge was Tiina Jürjo. All results here! Before the competition, Minnie had her first measuring.  At first she was kinda melting away :) but thanks to the patience of the judge she finally stood well. Result: 39-40cm (39.5). Courses were good and quite short. We both were a bit unsure of the new place and competing and fisrt time slalom in competition ect ect. But everything went really well! 1st course clean run, second course I managed to show wrong tunnel entry and on third course one bar dropped. I was very pleased with her!! Here are video of all of the courses: 

1st May i went to try on unofficial rally obedience competition with Minnie. i have not actually trained obedience with Minnie. But she is quit good if I have treats. And she did very very good!  99 and 95 points. I was very happy!  In the beginning of May doggos were enjoying guests! Minnie at a public event! We started to go out more and more for walks with both of the doggos. In May Lulu got drug free! And seems to be good without any daily painkillers! Cute Minnie: I our agility training, Minnie "finished" see-saw training. And we can start to put it in a course! It took us 1.5 months and here is a summary:

 Our second and also the last unofficial competition in 0 class. Also, it was fisrt time in the season to do agility outside field. Minnie was very good. And I think we are ready for 1 class courses :) Videos of the courses: Results from 1st course: Results from 2nd course:
