Trial Video!

Mar 25, 2009 16:09

Unfortunately one of the tapes that my mom used to record Faith and me somehow got messed up, which means I lost the video of our Saturday Jumpers run.  At least, I can't make it play on the camcorder.  That is a bummer because jumps are what Faith is all about.

BUT!  I do have the video of our first ever NAC leg and our second ever Regular course!  Hooray.

Things about this video:
  • Go, Faith, trotting on the dog walk!
  • Very awesome contacts, no hesitation on the pause (that sounds like an oxymoron) and even a nice nose touch towards the ground.  (I'm not sure if this is because Faith sometimes gets a treat on the ground at the end of the obstacle or because I've been working on clicking for a ground touch, but I choose to believe it's the latter.)  Okay, it wasn't exactly hard for her to get her contacts because I was RIGHT there with her, but still.
  • If we had gone over the SCT, I would have beat myself over the head for taking SO LONG during my front cross.  I stop with her so she gets her contact, then I slooowly meander over to do my cross, then I look around to make sure I know where I'm going next, then I look back at my dog to make sure she's paying attention, and then we finally go.
  • Please ignore Faith's first non-attempt to weave.  Weaving is harder at a trial, apparently.  Also, we did actually weave properly after the second failed attempt, but my mom stopped taping for some reason, so the good weaves are not on the video.
  • I'm wearing my coolest shirt ever, which has this design on the front and AGILITY on one sleeve and OBEDIENCE on the other.  I was totally qualified to wear this shirt on this day.
