Lance and I played in the Utility ring again today. Still having a blast and making everyone in the audience smile! Another NQ as the poor guy crashed the last jump.
Signals
Oh the forging. But Lance did settle in decently on the fast and more after the first about. I think we just need a change of pace to reel him in! He moved a bit when leaving on the stand and his finish sucked.
Article 1:
Tasting again. And sniffed a spot on the floor in the middle of the pile.
Article 2:
No tasting!
Gloves
#1, again. Happy bouncing to and from. Sitting further on the front like he's done the last 2 trials. Huh.
Stand
Crazy forging, moving again when I left and a tiny bit on the exam
Directed jumping
Straight go outs!!! No sit on the first send but did on the 2nd. Took the correct jumps!!! But really bad bar jump where he jumped early landed on the jump and crashed it.
He was having such a nice run! It's always wonderful to see a dog that delighted to be in the ring. I loved the "lightbulb moment" he had on article 2... he couldn't find it, couldn't find it, and then suddenly noticed an article he hadn't checked.
I think the biggest challenge is having a happy dog and you sure have that. Good job!
So adorable! He clearly loves to work! You should be really proud of that!
Aww, that's so cute - he looks like he's enjoying himself!
you both have such a great attitude - how absolutely sad you must have been to see that bar at the very end though ...
overall though that was even fun to watch :)
Dang NQ! nice run though!
That was awesome! Lance has such incredible focus. :) Too bad about the bar, but at least he was doing the right jump lol. He's such a good boy. I love how excited her gets. :D
