Kavik Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Today we got our 3rd Novice Jumping Qually - which means we get our title! Not our best run - Kaos stopped to sniff in the middle of the course, so did a few others, turns out there was dry food sprinkled on that part of the course! Something we obviously haven't proofed for! Ended up being about 1 second over time, but the judge then took into account the food on the course and gave me a qually.

Kavik Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks guys Still some work to do, we struggled a bit with the easy serpentine they gave us - he can do it in training, I just didn't give him quite enough room so not very smooth. And a bit more confidence and speed in his send to the end would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffi Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Great job kavik! btw I remember you were wondering about the handling system... well your leadout is definitely not Derett's one as he always says to face the direction you want the dog to heel. Since you are facing the dog to do the recall leadout, seems like you have some Mecklenburg's handling features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) My leadouts are guesswork/intuitive at this stage Derrett would do leadout pivot right? I only learnt about that at the last PICSI training I went to in March. Edit: got month wrong! Trying to type with baby on lap doesn't always work!

I only learnt about that at the last PICSI training I went to in June. :p Yes, he would do the leadout pivot :D As long as you are consitent and your dog understands it doesn't matter what you do When Kaos is switched on he is amazing!!! I loved how you didn't give up and sure enough he was back to his amazing self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILK Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Congrats Kavik Once he recovered he was right into it again. It's good the the judge was reasonable about the food on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
