Otley

This weekend we travelled north for our first agility show in a while - Otley. We had an absolutely fab weekend and it was wonderful to catch up with friends we havent seen in a while. And just as wonderful to watch them do well!

As for our results? well I have a sneaking suspicion you need to run a full course to get any results...ho hum.. but Im quite happy regardless. We didnt run at all on saturday as we had early classes and Tooheys was incredibly stressed by the show environment when we got there. I just didnt think it was worthwhile pushing him.

But after getting to run with lots of friends dogs over the weekend he had relaxed enough by sunday afternoon to do our runs (or sections of our runs at least..). He was right on form with his jumping, exhileratingly so, but for a dog that has spent the past 6 months with rock-solid start line stays and dogwalk contacts in training, he miraculously seemed to lose both the minute he stepped back into the ring..aghh. Back to the drawing board, again.
