Penny and I had a great time at the Greater Lafayette Kennel Club trial this past weekend! On Saturday we got our first ever Qualifying Score (95) in agility, also First Place and High Score in Novice A Standard! I am so, so happy that things are starting to piece together. No other Q's for the weekend, had some knocked bars in JWW and lost focus in our other Standard run but hey, I am happy with one as it is definitely an improvement from our first trial (also didn't run out of the ring at all! She did however try to make new best friends with a poor unsuspecting ring crew member) It will just keep getting better <3
Our next trial is probably going to be USDAA at Pawsitive Partners on April 7-8.
Things to work on until then:
Less flailing of the arms!
Rear crosses
Automatic "down" on the pause table
Weave pole entries/12 weave poles
Continue reinforcing "wait" by ring gates/doorways
Must be cued or released before going into crate/getting on mat
"Whiplash turn"/Recall in general
Remember: DON'T cross the plane of the first obstacle before the "Go" sounds! :x
