TerraNik Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 And one from me - we passed with 188 out of 200 last night in our last Novice trial. Now training in earnest for Open, hoping to get into the ring sometime mid this year.One of the advantages of having an older dog - she couldn't see the possums! Wooohooo! Congratulations!

J... Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks everyone for the congrats, and thanks to those who gave me some advice back in the obedience questions thread. Congrats to any results in the last few days as well. Unfortunately we weren't able to repeat the experience today - blew a good pass by dropping in her sit stay! Have practised the sit stay quite a lot, always for several minutes rather than just the 1 or 2 minutes and never with the drop afterwards. Unfortunately we are lacking a lot of ring work practise which is showing big time with me. Despite the fact that Darcy's stays are rock solid with other dogs I reckon we need more stay practise with other dogs as well, but I won't put her in club stays because yelling at your dog to stop them moving or running off is totally acceptable behaviour! Really over being so isolated training wise at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAUBISTAR Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Congrats to all of you Good work to Ness, from what you've said sounds like she put in a great effort. And one from me - we passed with 188 out of 200 last night in our last Novice trial. Now training in earnest for Open, hoping to get into the ring sometime mid this year.One of the advantages of having an older dog - she couldn't see the possums! How Exciting !!!!!!

leopuppy04 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Well done Jess! i'm bummed I ddint' get to watch more obedience! My brag for the weekend was a little unexpected. We started the weekend with only 2/5 passes towards Kinta's excellent Jumping title. Although she's been trialling for a while, the number of trials entered is minimal thanks to puppies, seasons and a lazy mum . We walked away with 3 passes for her, ALL in excellent jumping giving her her JDX title!!! . Ontop of that she had some LOVELY runs in agility only to be mucked up by me. Leo ran some beautiful rounds and gained a Masters Agility pass. He's only done 4 trials in Masters Agility and now has his 3rd pass under his belt. I'm very proud of him. His masters Jumping and open Jumping rounds were beaut... especially our last OJ round (wish I got it on tape!) where he was fast, furious and did a beautiful distance only to go a little too far out on the RC and miss the 2nd last jump Am very proud of my kiddies but after a jam packed weekend, we are all exhausted! No more trials for us until Mt Gambier! ETA: Edited March 8, 2010 by leopuppy04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Beautiful picture - definitely worth a brag. And lp - the new word I invented to describe your Leo and Kinta was meant to be 'gorgeous' - black keyboards at night - not a good idea . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Brag time from me - not a trial brag but Kenz is absolutely coming ahead in leaps and bounds with her agility training. To top if off last night I ran her around a masters jumping course at training. First time I broke it down into little pieces and rewarded it but she was handling it so nicely that the second time I rewarded only once or twice and she went around and kept all her bars up and was absolutely flying. Not bad for a midget jumping 500 who is not quite 2 yet . She ran the course like an absolute pro . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
