:laugh: No worries. Yeah I'll be at the retrieving trial on Sunday, but as I am swamped with homework, I am not sure yet if I will make it down sometime Saturday to watch the agility. I need to use that day to get a bloomin' essay finished! There's also a retrieving trial on Anzac Day, and I think that is at Upper Swan, also. So there's a few chances to come watch one early in the season, but after that I think most of them move out to whoop whoop so not really any chances for spectators - unless of course they want to make the big trek laugh.gif

I have no idea Emery but I won't be able to get close to the gun anyway as obviously no dogs allowed n the gallery near the competing dog so that probably won't help you much :( I'm going to take my 2 to as many training days as possible this year for the gun

It is up to the judge on the day to say whether dogs may be allowed in the gallery or not. Depends whether it is close to the control area and may distract the competing dog or not, and also, any dogs in the spectator gallery must be quiet or you will be asked to leave. Quite often spectators can have their dogs with them but be set back a little way from the main group, but still see the run and expose their dog to the sounds and smells of retrieving.

I wouldn't trust Gibbs in the gallery he is a distraction waiting to happen lol.

MG, you can get close enough to the gun. We had puppies attend last Sunday and as long as they were quiet, they got to sit where the gallery did to watch/listen.

Edit: oops fetchindawgs beat me to it!
