Our third competition in RK2 grade. Unfortunately we managed to do rally training in the past month only once. Judge was Lauma Zutere from Latvia.
1st course. Minnie was good and calm. During the first 12 signs we had only little things (3x-1p). But then we got closer to the temptation :) the sign before the temptation - she lost her focus to me and did not undersaand what I want - started to offer nose touch :) we got in total -6p from this sign. Then the temptation itself - she was doing actually pretty good - only the penguin took her attention for too long. -3 points. After temptation it was easy run. In total -12points. I have to say that I choose to do the course with the leach, because I knew that then she will be more in contact with me.
88points gave us I place.
2nd course. Without jump or temptation. So of course I wanted to take the leash off. I also felt That I started a bit too rushed from the car...I should have taken more time. Anyway Minnie was more distracted in the start, after the first sign, she sniffed the air and looked at the judge for 3sec, that gave us fat -10p :(. Then she was back to very good working girl. I had quite fast pace and at the 6th sign (sit, turn around, sit), I stopped very sharply and she missed it - lost her focus and I had to take her back on my side, she had to turn for this that gave us another -10p. We got during the course more 4x-1p, a little things. So altogether -24 unfortunate points.
Still 76 points gave us I place.
