Saturday Standard - took my eyes off him and assumed he was following LOL

Saturday JWW - 4th place. Could've gone faster but I think I kinda ran it safe. I want to get out of that habit.

Sunday Standard - I think I told him "table" as he was cresting the jump and made him knock the bar. Otherwise not a bad run.

Sunday JWW - Missed his weave entry, probably due to going in the wrong direction after a bad rear cross that he didn't read. Look at this crazy front cross that was practically on top of the tunnel after the weaves though! LOL

Monday Standard - 2nd place. He almost knocked a bunch of stuff in the end from me not being in the right place. Luckily he kept his feet up!

And of course the one I really wish I would've recorded I didn't because my daughter Jordan was leash running and my other girls had stayed back at the trailer that morning! He knocked the second bar even though I know his feet never touched the bar. I'm thinking he may have turned tight and brushed up against the wing and made the bar drop. It was our fastest run ever and he beat out all the other 16" and 12" dogs. The course was 156 yards and his time was 25.00(6.24 yards per second!) I didn't see the 20" dogs to see what their times were though.
I feel that we had a successful weekend, but there's still so much to work on. I don't want to play it safe and just do rear crosses. I want to be able to get more front crosses in and really start to shave seconds off of our runs.
That's all I got for now. I'm not showing again until July or August, so it's time to do some private lessons and work on some skills to improve his speed and accuracy
