 Another agility competition, this time in Viljandi. Judge Inga Järv. Planned was 4 courses. Started with jumping and followed with 2 agility courses. It was very hot day. In the three first courses she took tunnel instead of the jump. Sometimes it was not quite obvious why. In agility course she jumped both dog-walks. See-saw okay and 1 A frame jump. We are still learning this competing stuff. Videos:

Minnie went for her first official Rally obedience trial - exam this time. Judge was Irina Popjonoka from Latvia.  Minnie was very good and attentive to me. In the first course we got 96 points (time 1:21), loosing 3 points, because she went to sniff the ground for a second because the dog before her peed on the course. Then -1 came from going away from down position, where Minnie was sure that I will give treats for her and stayed in down position when i started to move. Everything else was perfect!  Second course was a bit longer, Minnie was still very focused although it was a long wait (27 participants). She got 90 points (time 2:17). We got -10 from 9th sign, but unfortunately I have o idea why. i thought that we did it very well....no video so I cannot check. 

 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:
