He has managed, for the first time ever, to do the weaves in a competition course and in the process has invented a brand new Agility handling move.
It works most successfully on courses where the weaves come after a tunnel and involves the handler positioning themselves mid way between the two obstacles. The next part of the handling move then involves the Dog exiting the tunnel at high speed, body slamming the handler and then precision re-bounding into a perfect weave entry! - Reno Ricochet
This move was demonstrated for the very first time today in the TFO Jumping and the result was Reno picking up a 2nd place.
Most unfortunately it wasn't captured on film but then it needs a bit more practice to be perfected so probably best that it isn't shared yet!
You'll notice from Reno's photo that he actually won three top places this weekend. The others are 1st in the Open pairs with his new friend Shannon (who is only 22 months!) and 3rd in the Open Steeplechase. This is a result that I'm very proud of as the top four Dogs were separated by less then 0.4 of a second.
Kiros, as always, ran beautifully but missed out on a few clears because of my erratic handling. Having said that we still finished the weekend with three 1st's.
Our runs today were a bit rushed as I was Judging the Agility classes. Here are today's courses:-
Elementary Agility
Starters + Agility
Veteran Agility
Elementary Tunnel Torment Agility
Starters + Tunnel Torment Agility
Veteran Tunnel Torment Agility
