Tassie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 :laugh: Ah, good. For a long time, I couldn't get in position to do them - now I can with Kirra - sometimes. Don't know that I'll ever be ahead of Rory - well except on a lead out - or in a pin wheel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickie Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's a really useful move...only problem is you have to be in front of the dog when you do it :-). Not necessarily Tassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You could just do what I tend to do and time it wrong so the dog almost collides with you and has to spring sideways to avoid me - hahah on second thought probably best not to :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily Tassie Well, I guess I should have said - in front of in terms of where the dog is going. Or do you have a secret move, Vickie - in which case ... care to share .... :) (Mind you - you'd probably have to be as young and as good a handler as you are to make it work :laugh: - I need the senior's version .)

Or do you have a secret move, Vickie :) not a secret move, but I do have a Front Cross collection cue, and I do expect my dogs to remain in collection until I get to where I need to be. Occasionally (ideally not often) that means that I am behind when I give it & they are forced to move around me to take the next extension cue.

The Spotted Devil Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Just Zig and me at yesterday's agility trial - a 6.30am start seeing as it was my club plus a bit of catering as well. Em is still in season so Zig manages to have his head in the clouds and his nose on the ground simultaneously :laugh: Nevertheless he tried his Spotted heart out DESPITE my awful handling...I think life is just TOO busy and I really did feel like packing up and going home!!! Managed to ruin several lovely runs in a new and creative way every time...pulled him off a 180 with an early front cross in one run, slipped and thus cued a hard decel in the next run and sent him over the wrong jump in yet another Finally a nice run for both of us in a fast, flowing (for once!) Masters Jumping course that really blew the cobwebs out - didn't come anywhere to mention overall but managed 3rd place 600 height. Our best run was a really tough Masters Agility course with a tricky weave entry (a jump blocking handler position) and tunnel/A-frame discriminations (going twice over the A-frame) - only 9 quallies from 50 entries - 5th place overall and 1st place 600 height. We were both a bit tired today - I keep telling Zig that's because he used up so much energy flirting with every girly dog he came across. They all thought he was super sexy too :D Edited May 26, 2013 by The Spotted Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 They all thought he was super sexy too - well of course they did!It's always nice on a mucky sort of day, to have a couple of runs that feel really great - especially if they end up as Qs. Well done to you and the sexy lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well done on the quallies TSD Thought I'd post this here, I'm pretty stoked with this as 1) it shows how much I got my video camera out this year for training, which is a major improvement for me! and 2) I'm having so much fun training with Silvia. Amazing how we went from a few weeks of skills to this platform where we could give just about anything a go with some imagination and patience :) This is Bowie's graduation for Silvia Trkman's puppy class. There was so much more skills and things I could add but it took forever to load to youtube at 4 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
