Yea! Guy finished his Novice Weavers title and his Novice Jumpers title this past weekend at the NADAC trial in Vancleave, MS. Boy! Was that fun!
I left both Guy and Darla in lower standard classes as they've been having issues with the weaves in AKC classes. I hoped they'd get more confidence with their weave entrances and I think they did. We have been trying out a new signal, so this was a good test.
Darla did her standard run weaves well, but just couldn't get the Weavers class down..she'd bobble the entry or pop out at the end. (I enter Veteran Handler, so my dogs only have to jump 12". They don't seem to notice and cover the jumps with room to spare!)
On the upside, she was very happy...sometimes too happy... like in the Touch N Go class where she was bounding along and just jumped clear over the down contacts..
I entered Guy in Tunnelers for the first time. I practically have to stuff him in a tunnel at AKC, but he flew through the NADAC tunnels like he loved them. Same size, but usually straighter lines for Tunnelers....and really, really fast. He got his first leg on Sunday.... so I'm looking forward to getting his title next Feb when they have another trial.
