Angel - GSD Agility Show

This morning me and Angel headed up to the Airport playing field for the GSD agility competition.

On the way to the show Angel looked really tired, she looked as if she wasn't going to run! But she proved me wrong.

There were 4 classes which she ran very nicely (just a shame about the handler!!)

Results..

Small Open Steeplechase: 5th - 5faults in the weaves (Me getting in her way)

Small Novice Jumping: 3rd

Small Novice Agility: E'D (I lost my way near the end, she had such a stunning round i could of kiced myself!! ARGH never mind this will teach me to walk courses properly next time!

Small Power & Speed: 5 faults in the weaves


Jane (The judge) gave me the 'If Only Trophy' she said: "If only i walked her course properly" Angel had a fast time in this class and would of most probably won it, just to make the mattter worse lol!


So overall Angel was running really well it is just the handler who let her down!

One thing i always do is in the weaves in training i will let Angel freely weave were as in the competitions i will encourage her by guiding her (it is a bad habbit which i need to get out off) Because i know she is capable of doing the weaves independatly its just she doesn't have the speed like she does in training.
