Dog Vegas Easter 2010 - Day 3

No videos from today I am afraid so just lots of waffle.

Jemma:

Agility Graded 1-4
She missed out the second weave pole and then I lost the plot, not waiting until she was commited to the tunnel before doing the next bit as I was worried about getting in the right place to do a very optomistic front cross, it then completely fell apart so we retired gracefully - half eight in the morning is definately not my time to run!!

Agility Graded 1-2
This round was beautiful, she ran really well, I actually handled properly for once and it felt really good to run. Sadly she went charging at the weaves and although she got the entrance she couldn't wrap to get back in the next gap, although she tried REALLY hard!! Both in this run and the run on Friday if you take off the time it took us to redo the weaves she was faster than the winner - one day we WILL get our weaves right!!

Jumping Graded 1-3
Again, she cocked up the weaves, coming out at 10 and then after that we totally lost the plot and so between the two of us put together did some shambles of a course to get us to the end!!

Elliot:

He had a bit of a pants day really, I didn't take him in either of the agility classes as one started jump tunnel and after yesterday I decided it wasn't worth trying to get him to do it and not succeding and the other one started jump, dog walk and there were no other jumps/tunnels around for us to use!

Jumping Graded 1-3
This was at about half 3 and as he had had no other runs he was a bit manic. It started tyre, jump and he released himself and went under the tyre so we started again, this time I didn't go so far and he waited until I told him to go but still went under the tyre, but I decided to carry on, however it was a bit of a difficult start for him as there was a straight line of tyre, jump, weaves, jump but after the jump (before the weaves) you had to pull them round a 270 degree angle to do another jump before doing jump number two again and then going into the waeves. Well Elliot bless him took off to the weaves three times, got his entrance every time!!!!!!!!!!! but then because I had stopped came out, although on the third one I decided to jsut carry on with him because I didn't want to discourage him from doing the weaves at the moment, however he was then very hyped up and very confused, the next bit of the course was a bit all over the place but jumps 14-20 were done beautifully :D
