On Sunday we crammed the van full of dogs and headed of to Carn Brae did you know if you shove 7 dogs and 3 people in to the van its not that expensive J
So there we were at the crack of dawn Camellia , Pinto &Florence, Claire Wren, JC,& Kai , Me Dooley and Chilli heading off on the million odd miles to Cornwall !
We get there early as we drive faster than the RAC man says we will !!!! But it does mean we have a nice parking space by the agility ring just in case it rains
I have noting to do 1st thing so I get to mooch around and chat play with dogs in the field and do filming ! J OH yes this week we have videos !!!!!!!!!
Well after hours of waiting it was grade 3 jumping ,Dooley was up 1st it was all going well when it was discovered we cant count ? out of the weaves he came why ? that’s the million dollar question ? did I say go ? possible did I move away ? quite likely ! you decide ! we have been over it and over it and I’m still not sure, the only thing I am fairly sure of it would be my fault!!
1st set of home work noted
Next up Chilli-bean I am a bit unsure of how to handle this will she go through the tyre ??she should do ? or do I run with her ad hope her directional’s are up to scratch as I will be handling from behind ??? right up to the point its our turn I’m not sure which would be best !
We decide on lead out there is only one way to find out if we have trained this tyre enough off I go I lead out I turn I move over just a tad so I can clearly see her and her me through the middle of the tyre wait till she is looking at me say go ! guess what right underneath !!!!!!!!!!! so there is my answer NOT trained that enough !!!!!!!!!!!!so I then sent her on with out me result through the tyre and my directional’s were good

Then came steeplechase I so got in chilli's way causing her to knock a pole
Had a chat with Toni about why and she suggested that I handle the top differently with Dooley which I did and he ran it beautifully but in all the amazement of me getting something right with out having the chance to walk it (pattern developing here !!!!!!!!!) I forgot to call him as he went through the tunnel so he shot out the tunnel and over the wrong jump !! I made sure he didn’t know that as it was completely my fault so as far as he is concerned he had a stonking clear round !!!!!!!!!!!!

Lastly agility
Chilli was up first she was doing a beautiful round till I thought I knew better than her and asked her to steady and caused her to knock a pole bit more faith required on my side I fancy !!!!!!!
