Thank you all for such a nice comments! I'm happy you liked the videos. I wanted the slow motion one of my dog for awhile and took the opportunity to have it done. It's interesting to see him like that with detailed shots.

Yea, I think so. Generally it seems that way. It always depends on the certain judge, but competing is usually quite a challenge. You've got a lot of dogs running against you and courses have tight turns, lot of outs and other technical stuff. Training is even harder. There's even more tight courses and lot of turns and rather complicated combinations of obstacles. In our usual training class we run about 40 obstacles - first running short sequences and then the whole thing. Everyone is probably training in a different way, but intricate courses are common.
here's an example (take note that i have no idea how to work with agility designer programme and have no idea how to "count" metres and distance, so it's just illustration to give you an idea). if you train courses like these, competing in Europe doesn't seem like such a big problem either LOL. One of the shorter easier sequences

Great runs, the Video Just reinforces my outlook that European courses tend to be a lot tighter then North American ones there are some pretty tight twisty sequences in there.
