Phoebe's First Taste Of Agility

On the 16th November I entered Phoebe in 3 classes at the C-Side show. I didn't know what to expect so was just relieved to get her round the starters agility course without her partying half way round. In the starters jumping I couldn't have asked for more as she went like a dream, ran clear and straight in at 5th place. The show only placed to 5th and she was eventually knocked down two places. Open jumping was totally screwed up by me and had I been on form the poor little mite would have known where to go but I didn't reverse turn when I should have and sent her over the wrong hurdle.
Today we entered Leah's Training show. I did one agility run NFC which we were eliminated in and when I was on the start line for the second run Lisa Jordan, our judge, gave me some indication as to why. I believe her words were...'This time when you run, don't forget you've got a dog with you.' Yes, my over eagerness on one corner meant I ran on too far and litlun came with me instead on taking the hurdle. Did slightly better on the second run but this time Phoebe decided she didn't want to do the see-saw. Much better in the Jumping runs. I treated both as competition and she ran two beautiful clear rounds, although she did stop for a quick sniff halfway round on the second run.
Well done to my buddy Lucie Armstrong with Milo for getting a place and congratulations JJ Davidson for a cracking run with my boy Echo.
Phoebe's next show is Just Minis.
