On our first run of the weekend, Time 2 Beat, Ann decided to go sniffing for my mom and we did not qualify. So, my mom sat out in the car all day and my dad came to get her. Then after she left the building, Ann got a Q in Open JWW. The next day, Ann got a Q in Time 2 Beat, Open JWW and Open Standard. So, we determined that my mom cannot come to trials until Ann and I get a little more confidence and Ann can ignore distraction and override her impulse to do something she wants over what I’m asking her to do. We’re working on it!!
My mom was sitting in a chair on the floor against the wall. You can see Ann go off course to go look for her.
Our first Open JWW Q! Ann popped out of the weaves, but in Open, you can have a boo boo.
Premier Standard courses are super hard and challenging. This is super sloppy but I think Ann was still looking for my mom in the ring. We didn’t Q, obviously.
Open Standard. Didn’t Q. Probably my fault. I will do a little more studying of this video to see where I can improve.
Another Q in Time 2 Beat! I’m not sure what happened at the very beginning. UGH. We will practice tunnel beginning.
Our first Open Standard Q!
Another Premier JWW course. So many difficult elements, but we will get there. Didn’t Q, of course.
Our second Q in Open JWW!

I love watching this! It’s so funny how she will only wait for so long before she takes off. Then she’s off like a shot!
She’s actually supposed to wait for my cue to move out of the stay and that is one of the things we are working on. Outside of the trial setting we can do it for days. I can go in the other room and she can hold a stay. She can even hold a stay at the start line when I’m training an agility course. It’s the stress and excitement of the trial ring that gets to her and she just hasn’t gotten used to that environment yet. We are working on it and having fun trying!
