Ruby and I attended our first affiliated agility show today! It was so nerve-wracking!
We met up with Karen, Rufus and Basil so we had some good company, and there were lots of other people there from Paws at Play, including Michelle our trainer!
There was so much to think about - checking which ring we are going to be running in next and listen out for when we can walk the course, and remember to sign in when walking the course!
We got through the day with four eliminations but lots of good things to take away - Ruby had a good 'wait' and she was quick! She missed her weave entry but got it on the second attempt! I just need to get better at handling her and with a bit more experience, hopefully will be able to get her round clear!
Karen and I were able to video each other - it's a really good way to see how errors are made and to learn how to improve as a handler! Here the videos of our runs:

| | We ran the Agility course NFC as Ruby is not currently able to do the see-saw independently. UKA shows are great for building confidence as they allow you to take a toy into the ring and train in a show environment! |
