It was good to get back to agility after the Christmas break and our first show of 2015 was at Scrambles.
It was really cold but the ground was surprisingly good after a week of rain! I decided to run the first agility NFC so that I could reinforce Pepper's contacts and as expected she flew over the A-Frame without even thinking about stopping! Back over again and into a beautiful 2on2off position which got her lots of treats as a reward, and was followed by an equally good Dog Walk. The rest of it was really good!
Jumping next and a pretty tight course that needed some handling. Unfortunately she knocked the first pole but the rest of it went really well so I was pretty pleased.
I ran the second Agility for competition and was delighted to get great contacts and a lovely clear round.
Finally the Steeplechase - another tight course and we got caught out on a box with Pepper taking a side jump instead of the one straight ahead. This has happened before so definitely something to practice in training! I then lost my way so overall we made a bit of a hash of it!
Really pleased to have won 1st place for the Agility run - our first rosette for 2015 - it's been a while since we got a clear in agility and I needed to test her before our first KC show in a couple of weeks!
