Finally Lulu entered in a official agility class! A1 jumping - two courses.
It was an exam and the judge was from Latvia: Lidia Belyaeva.
Because it was Lulu first competition, she had to be measured. The judge got her just under the limit for small large class - so she could compete in medium class (max height is 43 cm). But we need to measure in the two coming competition to confirm the size.
1. course: It was a dog friendly course and good to start with. Unfortunately I over-handeled the entry to the slalom and totally under-handeled the last obstacle. Therefore 2 mistakes = -10 points, and it seems that we lost around 7 seconds to repair the mistakes. Therefore, speed 3.99m/s. But Lulu was enjoying herself a lot!!!
2. course. I thought that I need to trust Lulu more. She was more enthusiastic and more confident, I think! Great. Again in one point I pushed Lulu to miss the jump, -5 and over 3 seconds to repair this mistake. I also think that she fell in the last tunnel. At least it sounded like this. Overall speed 4.48 m/s.
The next competition is planned in October, until then we have time to train the contacts and confidence ;D
