AKC Agility Natls – Day 2

Day 2 of the 2012 AKC Agility Nationals and it certainly was an exciting day!


First, the friend I accompanied has been having on-going difficulties convincing her dog to take the teeter in competition (a problem that just started about 6 weeks ago). Luke CAN do the teeter and earned his way to the Nationals, so there is no doubt about that and his success is a priority.


So the plan for the day looked like this…she ran him in Jumpers and I ran him in Standard.

 


My sole responsibility was to achieve a teeter performance. Sounds easy, but first I was required to run a dog I’ve never had the pleasure to work with and second, I had to make the experience fun so that hopefully his confidence would increase and he would follow me through the steps to a successful teeter. Oh yes, and did I mention I’d have to run at a high altitude? lol


So here is a video of our run:

As Luke and I were exiting the ring, Carrie DeYoung said “A good time was had by all!” and she’s right, we had a BLAST and Luke was successful!!!!!!!  All of us ended the day in the BEST mood and so happy. Heck, you’d think we had won our class!

Thanks Luke for a wonderful time and to his owner for allowing me the opportunity to run him.

Before I forget, here are courses from the day.

 Today started out with a warm-up Excellent Standard course. I plan to do a more detailed blog write-up with video in the next few days.

In the meantime, the Time To Beat (T2B) class was run and I was lucky enough to capture 2nd Place winner, Stacy Goudy and her red Border Collie Maze and their amazing 2nd Place run (video below).

Here is a link to the T2B Course Map.

Enjoy!

Crazy Dog Quirk – Ball + Mud = Fun

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009


Spring in Seattle means rain, more rain, moss removal and spring clean-up. Did I mention the rain? Have I also mentioned the guaranteed puddles that develop as well? Often times we’ll see ducks using our pasture as a swamp area and other times our dogs put their personal watering holes to good use. That’s what my Border Collie, Spot did today while I was out doing yard work. 

While out working in the forest area of our property, I found Spot’s long lost and favorite toy – a 10′ hard plastic ball. Spot can entertain himself for hours with that toy and today was no exception.
Once found, I tossed the toy up toward the house. Later, I heard him playing and then much later I happened to look up and there was my VERY muddy and goofy dog splattering himself silly while playing with his ball!
I let him play all day, but was sure to get a few pictures & video for my own private laughing session. He’s clearly having so much fun and enjoying the nice day just as much as I was.
Enjoy the video and picture!
