This is the 2nd year that we've taken part in Team K9's performing dog demonstrations and how far we've come! Last year it was HARD work to keep her working with me- this year, she was sailing around the steeplechase course with beautiful focus. Even the weave pole challenge (not her best obstacle) posed little trouble for her - she was able to run them cleanly for four runs, meaning that she ran 8 sets of 12 weave poles perfectly.. GOOD girl! Our second show involved a 24 pole timed run, and even though we usually do 6 in practice, and only occasionally does she see 12 - I was able to keep her hopping through until the 20 or 22 pole, when she missed her footing - not too shabby at all! The crowds are huge and enthusiastic at this event, and Soph handled herself beautifully.. what a good good girly!
We've got two more days of shows - I am so pleased with today, the rest of the weekend will be icing!
