2 Day Trials
Our consecutive weekends of agility finishsed up this last weekend with a 2 day UKI trial.
And I learned I absolutely should not be trying to do agility runs 2 days in a row with how sleep deprived I am. Snooker was certainly a disaster on Sunday, sorry Vito. If only Netta would stop waking up every hour!
Alas my goal of getting a standard Q or 2 with Zumi was not to be. She was a pretty good Duck, but I feel we're not quite consistent yet in her handling. Sometimes she feels very "sticky" and other times she's barely contained, and alternates in the same run.
Still, there was improvement from our last trials! Zumi's "vulturing" start line was much improved! Still there, but responding to "sit" cues to get up.
I'm working on it in practice with having her do a "Beg" before released but she can't do it yet with much distance.
Zumi's Master Series jumpers course was probably her best run of the weekend. She even made up for some poor handling in the beginning when I wasn't quite moving fast enough. The dropped bar was all my fault.
Her novice standard run on Sunday, some more bad handling as well! So tired!
Vito was also very happy for his runs on Saturday. Sunday was more meh.
