I'm a firm believer as well. I've seen it work way too many times to not believe in it.

Well, she didn't fly off of anything yesterday, lol. For me, it's a safety issue as well as a training issue. I care a lot more about the health of my dog than finishing a course. I'm still up in the air about her A-Frame contact. She didn't give me a 2o2o on it all weekend. She's hitting the contact, but coming off and she did it once our first weekend competing in May. I'll see how she does with it in practice this week. I'm wondering if she jammed her shoulder at some point and maybe it's sore or it hurt and she doesn't want to do it because of that. I need to address it, because it'll probably degrade to a missed contact pretty quick here. If she won't stop in practice maybe I should get an Xray to make sure there isn't something going on in there.

Thank you. I'm kind of shocked that we got there that quickly. This is my first agility dog and, honestly, I'm not very good at it. Echo saves my sorry behind more times than I care to admit.:hide
And I will now stop hijacking your thread, Cara

Yeah, hard to say what's going on. I'm interested to see how it goes in class. If she struggles there it could be an injury :-( Please keep us posted.

Wouldn't it be fun if a whole bunch of us met up there?!?!?!

it would. Purina Farms is supposed to be a great place for dog shows. I had a great time at the one in FL and I didn't really know anyone. Destin's breeder was there so it was good to see her again and I did meet a couple other members who haven't been very active here recently....

yes- if she has no issues in practice, could be ring wahoos but if she does show the same behavior in practice, definitely get her checked out....
