Kay did her first AKC Agility trial last weekend. We were so not on the same page. That's what happens with novice dogs and their struggling handlers. We're still not that comfortable with each other yet. It will come and the noviceness will go away. It did with Bailey. He makes up for where I fail, where Kay keeps me honest.
We have an Obedience trail coming up this Sunday. We're hoping to finish out our Novice title this weekend. I'm excited about our Open entry on 17 Oct, but I can't get too cocky because we need our list Novice leg first. Margaret and I are meeting on Saturday to do a run thru and then some Open drills.
Our next AKC Agility will come at the end of this month. We also have CPE on the books. I'm pushing to finish our CDX before the year is out, then I'll have to focus on Utility. I will most likely zero in on Agility and Obedience will fall to the side of the road for a bit.
Right now we are also working on a special assignment for Janice. I'm attempting to teach it all through back chaining. The first trial session was very promising. I'll have to do some considerable roadwork and quite a few sessions to get it where I want it. It should be fun!
