We were 4 seconds short of Qing in Jumpers. Running, with me, no excursions, but slightly behind me the whole trip. If she would just pick it up.<\/p>\n
Standard was interesting. I was doing a bit of stressing as the judge was standing just where I wanted to do on each run, and I left it to her to get out of the way. Need the map for this, but she had the tunnel under the a-frame, and I needed to be at the fulcrum of the teeter. Her way put me behind Macy and I needed to be ahead of her.<\/p>\n
I went my way and it worked, Macy came out of the tunnel and I was standing by the teeter calmly. She went up, and bailed. Couldn\u2019t figure out what to do \u2013 call her up the teeter and leave, or go on. She made the decision, she went on. I knew that calling her away from the obstacles would bother her \u2013 little stressor that she is, so I did the best thing. Cooing \u201cgood girl, good girl\u201dand scooping her up. Held her and hugged her to the leash.<\/p>\n
It worked out exactly the way I would have wanted it if I had to not Q. SHE made the choice to get back on the teeter. <\/p>\n
Q rate for the year \u2013 4 out of 9. Way better than the old one. — 0 — <\/p>\n
And yes, we are getting closer, and I\u2019m being patient on the baby steps.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I\u2019m seeing a different dog outside the ring \u2013 she is barking and demanding that I tell her to do something and reward her. I am not sure I like that dog, but that dog does agility better.<\/p>\n
We have:<\/p>\n
