Carlasl Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well it really went well! I am super happy with my girlie and I am really looking forward to our next trial and "really" getting out there. We did one day and did a jumpers run and two tunnelers, The jumpers really went well, we got a Q and 1st place, she was sooo much slower than normal, but other than that, she really didn't seem that anxious (not compared to a dog that hides in tunnels and heads for her crate when she gets scared). The first tunnelers run was a bit of a disaster, poor thing was terribly confused at constantly being sent to tunnels and kept turning to me when she would come out of a tunnel, I know a lot of it was my positioning and lack of movement, but it was of course my first trial as well and we have had 0 practice with tunnelers courses. The second Tunnelers went a lot better I stayed with her and supported her a lot more, it wasn't the course I would have run if we were practicing but it worked for letting her know that I wanted her to keep going in Tunnels, we got another Q and second place. I really did have fun and so did Maya, and we met a lot of fun people and are really looking forward to our next trial.

brndlbc Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Congrats on your first trial. You did great and look great too. You identified the issue with the first tunnelers run and worked it out. Bravo to you. Many people would have blamed the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Beer Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Finally got a chance to watch the videos. I never would have thought that was your first trial! You and Maya both did a fantastic job! Makes me want to go run some NADAC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Congrats! She is a fast little doggie and has a very nice jumping style. Torque and I are in a NADAC trial this weekend. I can not wait for the Tunnelers courses. Yippee! Jovi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretBC Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Congratulations! That Jumpers run was really nice! And you couldn't have asked for a better first judge -- Blair is so friendly & nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
