Time Gamblers:
Jemma:
To give her enough of a run up I had to set her up right at the edge of the ring but this meant she had a few wires to go over, of course as these jumps are kennel club height they are slighlty higher than she is used to - I don't know which of these was the cause but she knocked the first pole! I can't really remember what happened after that but I know it didn't go quite to plan, although from what i can remember she did good contacts (cant remember about the weaves though!!)!!
Elliot:
Well as there were weaves and contacts in this we didn't really stand much chance - but hey he had fun :)
Jumping:
Jemma:
The weaves were at an awkward angle straight after the tunnel and so she didn't see them and messed about. I think she then missed one of the jumps and I carried on so she got Ed
Elliot:
We missed out the weaves and went to the next but one jump but he did exactly what I asked of him :)
Helter Skelter:
Jemma:
She clunked a pole and then missed the last jump - tinker
Elliot:
YAY!!! Our first CLEAR!! Quite apt I feel that it was at the wiccaweys show. I so wanted him to go clear that I really concentrated on what I was doing instead of running fast so he finished on a time of 20.231 with the winner doing a time of 16.484. So was quite a plodder but hey it was clear - next time I will be brave and run faster. The other thing was that I could tell he enjoyed every single minute of it!!
Agility:
Jemma:
For some reason she didn't turn when I asked her to so she ended up taking the wrong jump - tinker!! She did do her 6 weaves straight off though so that was good :)
Elliot:
Well contacts meant it was all a big game - I did however put him back on the end of the a-frame and he did a very nice two on two off.
Circular knockout:
Jemma:
Again she took the wrong course, I probably could have done with a fake front cross as it was at the point when she needed to turn in from having run all the way round the edge!!
Elliot:
I had to run and get him out the car when they called him in so I was very rushed and so after the first jump he kind of went a little bit in the wrong direction as I wasn't where I wanted to be so not his fault at all. However he did the same thing as Jem at the end - you would have thought I would have learnt from jemma!! However in this I ran a lot quicker than in the helter skelter and he ran faster too :)
Wiccaweys only class:
Elliot again jsut had fun in this class as there were contacts and weaves - bless him!!!
I don't know what was wrong with Jem but she didn't do very well at all. However I was a little bit off colour and didn't feel I worked her properly - I kind of left it all up to her and was just generally not really with it!! My biggest achievement with elliot was that he worked really well at all the jumping parts, working away from me well and even more importantly he stayed with me and in the ring despite them just being roped off and there being a lot of people and dogs watching relaly close to the ring! :)
