Training!

I'm still working with miss Scooter on her teeter work, she's definitely not afraid of it anymore so I'm just working on speed and drive and I think she's definitely much better than she was :) Now if I can just get to run a full agility course... Then she'll be ready for the AKC Juniors tournament! (13 days away!!)

 Scooter and Trixie are entered in the Keystone USDAA trial that I'm doing next weekend in Jumpers, Standard, Gamblers, and Pairs. I really don't care if she Q's (and I'm not expecting her to because of USDAA's tight times) I just want her to run!! Trixie is in everything (Standard, Jumpers, Gamblers, Snooker, and Pairs) and she'll hopefully get her Starters Performance Pairs & Snooker titles but we'll see, you never know how those two classes are going to go because if you get a bad partner in pairs (totally possible in PI) then you're out of luck and can't Q no matter how well you do. Luckily that hasn't happened to us before and I hope it never will! Snooker always stresses me out, well just USDAA snooker because CPE's snooker is usually pretty easy, because it's so easy to NQ for doing something stupid. NQing doesn't usually bother me unless my dog was totally capable of doing the course and I messed them up - if the course is just to hard for us it actually makes me happy (weird right?) because then I know how we need to improve. That's why I love USDAA, the courses are usually challenging, and fun too! It's nice to have more than just standard and jumpers and make you really have to think - plus if you're going to be at a trial all day you might as well run more than twice.
