Fair City Show

Saturday morning of to the show inthe rain! Monkeys first run was in agility and it was a straight forward course. Had a pole down on the slalom but got her weave so was pleased as she has been skipping pole 3. She became really naughty in her next two classes deciding she knew the course better than me. Skipped in one weave and came out headed to the tunnel for the big E. Her jumping was worse. Sunday she behaved herself and was 10Th in 3-4 agility and 11th in grade 3 jumping. Looking back all the errors were as per usual mine. None of her runs were smooth as I either stopped or dropped my hand. The weave for some reason she has been skipping a pole near the start or coming out on ten. However I am not going to change anything just going to train out the mistakes, I believe the reason so many have a problem with the weave is if they go wrong a new method is used which really confuses the dog.

Rhu was brilliant think she sensed I was a bit peeved and tired pulled out all the stops to cheer me up. Saturday she had two runs in agility and two 7th places. Sunday she was 2nd in agility and 11Th in jumping.

I was chuffed to bits but oh my handling lets me down, so it's back to 1-1 training with our agili guru Kenny.
