Agility Nuts 13th Nov

Well what a mix of runs today, we started off with TFO I think Bella was a bit confused way I was taking her out of the ring after just 5 obstacles bless her I think she thought she'd been norty hihi Next was agility I didn't push her far enough out on a corner so she nipped in and took the jump so E'd think we are going to have a bit more practise on these at training as shes done this a couple of times where before I could put in a bit of distance. We tried to finish off the course but she struggles with right hand weaves right next to the netting I made her do them but think she lost the plot a bit as started taking the wrong jumps so just retired lol The was tunnel torment a nice flowing course but just could keep her out the tunnel (no surprise there) we got further than I thought but I'm still not quite enough :D Finally we had jumping was a really complex course which I thought we had no chance on lots of traps and turns with big gaps to my amazement we managed all the hard bits but 2 jumps from the end I just took my eye off her (as lost me way) so she took the wrong jump gutted but also really pleased as she keeps on remaining me she should be there :D
The best part of the day was our start lines after being at Jen's yesterday I thought what better place to try than at a show I just said sit stay and walked away turned back waited and released worked like magic only one time did she move so I just calmly put her back without saying a word and walked away. I don't think we have ever managed a start like it amazing what a few pointers can do!!!!
The worst part of the day was her trying to eat a labs head!!!!! We'd just finished our run talking to the other dogs owner Bell was being fussy saying hi then her husband brought their dog in it either got a bit too close or looked at her treat bag well she just flew, amazingly the other dog was fine thank god and they where unbelievable understanding as I apologised over and over I'm just so gutted as I think we have come on leaps and bounds then it happens again out of the blue. I think I just need to make sure I take her away from the ring as soon as we have finished the run as its normally at these over excited times things happen.

The little honey monster came along for the day too she was very good settling in the back of the car with Bella even having a snooze hihi She came along to the ring side to watch even managing to sit quietly for a little while. She met lots of lovely dogs and people but still screamed a few times when dogs barked and it takes her by surprise I'm hoping as time goes on she will eventually stop doing it!! Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds tho which is what I'm after so to carry on with the socialisation me thinks :D
