I am always impressed watching people "run" a course like this. Simply amazing.

BTW, Koji did good in class last night. I'm injured, could basically only walk, and he did a LOT of distance work for me. Maybe he knew. My trainer told my hubby to kick me in the shin prior to class so Koji would do more distance.

That's why "run" was in quotes. LOL. I see that a lot in NADAC. Do they not work distance like that in AKC as much? I've only been to a few trials, but rarely see that. NADAC's Elite all do that (or try - not as successful as the woman in the video).

The injured list sucks. Are you doing PT now for your knees? I hope you're able to run soon. October isn't far away!

That's some amazing distance work. We aren't quite that far along on our distance work.

There's some taped off areas on the field where the grass has been overseeded, so we got to practice distance in class yesterday afternoon. Phebe does pretty good with everything except weaves at 15' to 20' of distance.

That is an awesome video. There was a woman at the march cluster here who did something similar about three years ago. The next closest I can think of is a man in a wheelchair who's malinois runs most of the course without him. It's really amazing to watch.

yes, that video is pretty much a show stopper.. beautiful dog, too!
There is a lady here who runs her Standard Poodle... she's about in her late 60's early 70's? Maybe?
She handles her dog like NO other!! The distance work is so impressive!
She 'runs' circles around her competitors!
