A-SIT Fun Competition

Well today was the A-SIT fun competition and everyone had a great time :)

Agility

Both dogs ran this course really well, I messed it up for Elliot by not pushing him out far enough and being lazy the jump after the seesaw and so I then eliminated him by putting him back over the see-saw, apart from that he ran very nicely, he did go off the end of the dog walk a little early but his other contacts were nice and his weaves (10) were brill - they were after the a-frame so he had a nice pause before them :) Then I ran the Jembear and loved every minute of it, she felt great and ran really nicely, she too managed the weaves first time and ended up winning the class :D

Jumping

Elliot was completely off his rocker in this class - he hit the weaves so hard I thought he was going to snap the second pole, however he somehow managed to hold it together and only came out 2 from the end when he saw the tunnel (2 jumps away), he did them nicely second time though, I think I just commanded him too late first time so he didnt brake early enough! There were then two pull throughs after the tunnel and I didn't push him out far enough for the first jump as I was worried I wouldn't get in to position and so we had about 3 attempts at this!! He then ran the rest of the course really well though bless him! Jemma also managed to cock the weaves up, but I think this was my fault, when she got to about weave 6 I thought about the fact I had to run on to get to the tunnel and was just about to go to power off and then remembered that was a bad idea and so did some kind of crazy thing and so needless to say she popped out at 8, did them second time though :) I messed the pull through up for her first time too - I don't know what is wrong with me with them, I clearly still need to work on them!!! As for weaves, I think the new tactic is that I just have to concentrate on the weaves whilst they are doing them and not what I have to do next as this is what I did in the agility as I had to bring them 180 degrees after them so stuck right with them :)

So, as for tomorrow, I just need to keepy my cool!!
