Okay, this post is WAY over due. But, I'm going to post it anyway.
Weeks ago we went to do some agility run throughs at a kennel club that holds trials. The last time we were there was for the trial on 7/16/11. It was a real nice night and not many people there. It's put on really nice with two rings, a jumpers and standard courses set at Excellent level. It is nice to just go and do some agility when there is a nice course set to run on and practice.
Tilda does still need work on the jumping as she was knocking bars. But, it was good to get her on an a-frame for the practice. It was set for the bigger dogs, so it was quite steep for Tilda, but with practice she did her touches; two feet on and two feet off. I don't think there were any fly offs though!
Maybe those scents she found when we trialed there in July were still out there :) The first time running jumps with weaves that night she got interested in scents. The second time running JWW I ran with a treat in my hand and she ran it pretty good. It was kind of a fun course to run because you could really run on it. In fact I even slipped when running it :)
It would have been fun to have some videos of our runs, but as you can see, I don't have any.

7/22/11 Agility
Just Tilda did an agility trial on Friday the 22nd; no Buddy and Gracie at this one.
Our first run was Open Jumps with Weaves. It was actually a pretty good run, just not quite good enough for a Q. In the weaves she missed one so I had to take her back and start her over. In the process of getting her to start over she took a wrong jump. Then while running the course she saw some of the family watching and went over to say hi :) She stayed in the ring though! She was also a little bit over time: 54.36 seconds out of 53 seconds.
In Open Standard Tilda did a fly off on the a-frame. I have to work on that; this was the 3rd time she has done a fly off on the a-frame. We then had some problems by some jumps and she knocked the bars on the double. She also didn't go down on the table. I know it doesn't matter since there is no rule about that now, but I still like her to go down. She did sit though. Anyhow, her weaves were beautiful!!!! Time: 65.03 sec out of 69 sec.
