Can hardly believe we Q'd a snooker
the three red jumps were RIGHT in the middle, and one off to the side towards the closing...
we needed 32 points, we got 38 in 60 seconds...
Glad I figured out a way to do a 'flowy' course... again mistakes were all mine, first off he didn't wrap the jumps very well in this run, like he did in others... one of them being he goes off to tell the ring crew off, grrrrrrr
and the other he thought that was the end of the course and he kept going to the exit, ALSO I HAD told him go on as soon as I thought I can't get him turned around to take the tire (4 point obstacle instead of jump just 1 point, lol) so he thought go on means straight line and course over, LOL
That's ok, he came back, and we did a great closing.
Nobody else Q'd that course, even in advanced and masters, where the course was similar, except the tunnel entrances weren't multi directional...

SO on to advanced, now all we need is a jumper's q, believe it or not, and we have Starters Games Dog of Canada title lol
FINALLY, it's coming together more, I can trial a bit more without fear of him being reactive or for fear he'll try and nail another dog, lol. He's come such a long way, and as I said before people at trials are surprised when I say oh Toffee is very reactive
