Agility update!
Crow and I attempted another trial this previous weekend, this time two runs at starters standard. No video because my photographer had the flu.
Our handling in this trial was SO MUCH better. My efforts over the past few months have really, really paid off. Really. A lot. It’s insane how much more a lot.
This was Crow’s first time running on dirt, and with inadequate exercise before hand, he was a little bit of a maniac. However, he went through the tire happily both times, did a full sized teeter without issue, and actually touched every contact.
Downside: No weaves. Zero. Brain fell out.
So, we’re back to working on weaves a lot, and will work on generalizing. I’m taking a weave/contact specific practice class starting in February.
And we’re trying another trial on February 17th. We’ll see how that goes.
