The Doggies and I have just had a lovely weekend at Agility Nuts.
I made my mind up to use the Agility classes to reinforce Kiros's wait's and Contacts as they have got a bit naughty lately so got Eliminated in his first run because I replaced him on the Dog Walk. Only one contact the the "Give a Dog a Bone" Agility and, as Kiros never needs much reminding, he stopped and waited to be released. Unfortunately he had a pole down (my fault!) but still managed 6th place as it was a tricky course.
As I was Judging Yesterday it was hard to grab moments to walk and run the other courses but Kiros was on top form and came 2nd in the Jumping (which I hadn't walked!) and 4th in the TFO Jumping.
Ronnie just had fun running around jumps and barking :)
I'd made my mind up to run Reno in any of the classes that didn't have weaves as we've still not got them sorted yet :( . On Saturday he was Eliminated in Clockwork Tunnels because he ran on into the wrong tunnel, Eliminated in Jumping because I forgot the course and took my eye off him!! and just 5f for a refusal in pairs as he took too long a stride and had to go around a jump.
The courses we could run yesterday were TFO jumping and a pay on the day Steeple Chase. At Agility Nuts you are able to run with a silent toy in the Elementary classes (which Reno can enter as he hadn't run at a KC show) so I've been using my ball. This all went wrong in the Steeple Chase as I made a mistake with my handling and Reno got "fixed" on the ball resulting in him being faulted! His TFO Jumping, on the other hand, was brilliant with him completing 23 obs in the 30 sec course time (Kiros completed 26) finishing 6th. The run has been filmed by Jackie so as soon as I've got it I will post it on here.
Here are my Agility courses from yesterday for anyone who is interested
