2 weeks after the long agility weekend in Sweden we participated in "our home turf" in Vastse-Kuuste. Judge Marko Visse. It was our 6th official competition (we also had 2 unofficial competition at grade 0 and then the last competition, IPAC, was actually unofficial one).
This time the goal was to get clean run in agility to get to the next grade.
This time it started with agility courses. First course, dog walk was not pretty, no fault. We got a refusal from slalom entry - I called Minnie in the fear that she will go for a jump, and she came to me soo nicely! And did not see slalom. Nevertheless, we got 1st place.
Second agility run. I did not managed to blind cross after the first tunnel - plan B - rear cross and then send it to the slalom...risk that I didnt want to take. But my perfect girl got the entry! And the course ended with perfect dog-walk! So this was our second clean run - that means we are good to go to grade 2!
Then jumping course, everything went smoothly! Clean run, 1st place!And last course, second jumping. In the middle of the course after a tunnel I didnt call Minnie but I gave a command for the backside of the jump...she looked at me for a moment and then search the jump to take ...of course she was already at the backside of the correct jump, so she took the only possible one! Amazingly well done my Minnie! Bad job on my side that I didnt realise that the actual jump did not need the backside command!
All the runs in one video:
This was the end of our grade 1. Now we have a bit of competition break. Next competition in 7 weeks and then in grade 2!
