First up Campbell had 1-3 agility he did a nice round but has got really naughty with his contacts in the ring and missed the A frame and didnt get the dog walk and see-saw as well as i know he can. I have forgiven him though as the a frame had been set at the old height so was very steep making it hard for him to go to the bottom. Next was Chico again he did a nice round just missing the dog walk contact which was naughty as he hasn't missed one before now! Finally Cai got a go. I waited till very late on in the class so that there were not too many dogs around but shouldn't have worried as he worked lovely and didnt look at anyone in or outside the ring (apart from at the start when he ran over to say hi to Angela who was judging!) Ok he was very slow and hesitant and had a few poles BUT he stayed with me and didnt bark non stop which is his usual style. Also i need to remember he has never had a proper agility lesson other than one with Leah last Thursday and i only do bits with him maybe once a month. He could be really good with more work and experience. Im hoping to enter him at some of the winter shows indoors as most of them have netting between the rings and then hopefully start him outdoors without netting next season.
Second up Campbell had 1 - 3 jumping it was a lovely flowing course but not just straight up and down. Val Clarke was judging and i always like her courses as they are usually very sensible for the grade but not just up and down. Campbell worked well but didnt feel that fast but i was surprised to find we had come 2nd! Chico was being a monkey and somehow managed to find a tunnel to go in that wasn't even facing towards him so got us E'd. Cai was really good again, he missed the weave entry but got it second time and ran past one jump but the rest felt really good so a promising start.
