Busy Weekend of Agility

Pepper and I have been to two shows this weekend - Pachesham Grade 1-5 Winter Series yesterday, and Scrambles Winter Series today.

At Pachesham we had a mixed day:

Jumping - 5 faults for the weaves, she came out after the 4th pole but did it second time beautifully.

Agility I - 10 faults for the seesaw and a missed tunnel entry.

Steeplechase - a clear round and placed 5th.  I knew it wasn't fast when I was running it but it was good to get her round clear on a nice flowing course.

Agility II - E'd - she flew off the A-frame and then jumped up and down and barked at me!  Eventually I managed to shape her back on to the bottom and we carried on but she was a little minx!

Scrambles today was pretty similar:

Agility I - I ran NFC so that I could train her contacts with treats.  She did a pretty good round and seemed quite controlled on her contacts.

Jumping - 5 faults for having a pole down - it was such a shame as she was flying and the course ran quite nicely.  This is the one that I will beat myself up about but she doesn't knock poles very often so not sure how it could have been avoided.

Agility II - The only contact was a dog walk right at the end so it didn't seem worth running it NFC.  She did pretty well and was really watching.  We got 5 faults for the tunnel entry, all my fault for stepping away before she had committed to it.  Her dog walk contact was pretty good!

Steeplechase - Really nice course and managed a clear being placed 3rd.  David and Maggie were 2nd and Sue and Molly were 1st.  We are having a really nice friendly competition between us!

In between the two shows I also had the Paws at Play Christmas Party - it was really nice to see everyone dressed up and to be able to finish a conversation without being interrupted by a dog or having to take my turn at training!  Thanks to Michelle and Nicky for organising a fun night for us all!

So all in all, a great weekend!  We were blessed with cold, but nice, weather, two fun competitions and two more pretty rosettes to add to our collection!

A special thank you to my lovely boyfriend, Ian, for putting up with me and fending for himself while I've been off having fun with Pepper!  I'm off to make him a roast dinner now :-)
