was going to put in a small threadle but OVERTHOUGHT it and Mr Toff just did what I asked, he DId the chute *YAY* which was a refusal last time, he nailed the ending, had great drive, knew his line and we are starting to see a bit of lateral distance, all things we continue to work on :D He seemed mighty pleased with himself, too

MORE importantly he didn't lose his cool even ONCE!!! he had an amazing, free session with a total stranger who started to work on his skittishness with strangers in hats, lol. My god she was so sweet, I love my agility community peeps :D I met Brighid's Mom from the Forums who also did very well! and so many lovely Shelties... but my friend's Borzoi got attacked by a loose dog but she was ok, just a little spooky in the ring but was able to get it together again. Toffee hates her, and was thinking about getting into it for a second when outta control Lab was gonna eat the poor scared Borzoi, but then Toffee thought better and totally turned to look at me as if to ask, uhm you got this, right? Then I was jackpotting him for making SUCH a good decision :D

Very nicely done!

I love when he barked at you...I can hear him saying "Moooooom!! You didn't tell me what to doooo!"
 
Great job! I can see a huge difference from the first time you posted a run vs. this last run - you should be very, very proud of yourself and your pup. :winkgrin:
 
Great job! How come you didn't Q? Because he went around that jump?



I loved that part too!

yes, he barks the whole way through, but especially when I make my errors! lol
Yes, he needs a clean run to qualify, if he passes the obstacle past the plane of entry it is considered a refusal.
Thanks guys, I completely agree, he IS better each time, nailed the end and picks up speed as he gains confidence.
 
great job on the chute- that has been an issue for Dixie too.
we borrowed a chute and hopefully, she'll be fine with it at the next trial:fl
