Service: Helping at agility competition (3 hrs)

On Tuesday (22.04.2015) I firstly wanted to compete in this competition, but unfortunately I had hurt my ankle quite badly. My trainer had to organize the competition this time so I thought I could go and help her instead. She decided that I could be assistance to the judge. At first I was afraid that I'm going to mess up something but actually it was quite easy and really fun. I had to learn signs that judge gave me, when dog made a mistake on the path and mark the results and time. I also helped to create the paths and to clean up the place afterwards.

Activity: Agility (6hrs)

08.02.2015: Yesterday there was agility competition and therefore we tried to do the path, that was also in the competition A0 level. The path was incredibly hard, because there were two blind tunnels and even our trainer said, it was too complicated for A0 level. No-one in our class completed this path correctly. In the end we also did seesaw.

15.02.2015: Today we did single jumps, but there were 4 in the row and dog had to jump over them without any extra jumps between and without pushing off the horizontal bar. Jacky did this exercise neatly. In addition to this we did tire jump and run path with doing waltz and for cutting step. These steps don't go so well for us, because I'm very bad at it. We need more training, but overall we did really well.

01.03.2015: For the first time we did A-frame and it came out well. We did again the waltz and cutting step - well, we still need more practise :D. The last path was the best, Jacky ran really fast and trainer was proud of him.

15.03.2015: Jacky was amazing in class, again. He really enjoyed the training and ran really fast. Even though in the end Jacky was tired, he still tried to be as fast as he could. I guess it was because Jacky was in Tartu the whole time and he was really bored during the week.

22.03.2015: Today was quite boring class. Firstly there was only two dogs, who came, secondly the other dog had heat cycle, so Jacky was more interested in her, than training. We did two paths, but Jacky basically just walked the whole way and didn't want to run at all. In the end we did see-saw and A-frame.

05.04.2015: This time we did a short path - only 9 obstacles, but still the training wasn't that good. Since we couldn't go to training last Sunday and Jacky had been in another city for the whole time, he didn't care that much about agility lesson. It was hard to make him want to run, luckily he wanted to play with his toy. Also we did A-frame and weave poles.
