I’ve entered Dulce in an agility trial. Friday only, McKinney in February.
She was absolutely a mess when we went to the National Specialty which made me very sad. However, she’s been better in class lately, and at Fun Matches and a Workshop.
I’m taking a full course, and giving her a treat after each obstacle. I’m going to start fading that a bit with tonight’s fun match, but giving her treats at the practice jump (if there is one), and giving her treats after every obstacle for the first 5, then every 3.
Last night, I did my first run with a treat every obstacle, and then repeated the last three giving her a treat after the third. Then the second run, I gave her treats after three to five obstacles depending where they were at.
She ran really nicely, not stopping and sniffing at all the last run.
We did something similar to that at a workshop we went to on Wednesday, and we had some really nice runs the rest of the day. Anytime she blew something, mom’s feet were pointing the wrong way.
