Activity: Agility (6hrs)

03.05.2015 - We started training with medium length path, but it was challenging because it had two times for cuttings or back cuttings. Since Jacky was again, really active and energetic, it was really hard for me to be faster than him. After that we did again a-frame-tunnel-tire jump-collapsed tunnel. This time it went really well, Jacky jumped trough tire jump without any failures. At the end of the lesson, we did again the path and Jacky pervaded it better than the first time.

07.05.2015 - Today the training was outside for the first time (in Lohkva we are always outside, but there is artificial grass), so the grass was really wet and it was uncomfortable. We started with quite complicated path, but when we tried it through few times it came out really well. Jacky was energetic as always, but he started to get a bit bored and tired so we did path including 5 jumps and 1 tunnel, all placed in a round - dogs liked it, because it was easy and fun. In the end we also did see-saw.

11.05.2015 - We started with easy exercise including tunnel and 2 jumps. Then we moved on with some more difficult moves, which were inside the path, also we did a-frame and dogwalk (both were also inside the path). Path was really difficult and long, trainer also said, that it was basically A1 level path excluding weave poles. Training was tiring, but luckily Jacky was really eager to run and he liked the path + he performed path really well.

14.05.2015 - Today we had lesson outside again, but I liked it this time more, because grass wasn't that wet than last time. At first we did two shorter paths, both with tunnels and jumps. Both were a bit difficult because of the tunnels. Then we did weave poles and then longer path, which contained also second of the shorter paths, but overall the long path was quite easy. In the end we also did see-saw. Jacky was energetic today, but there were a lot of interesting smells, which were more important for him than the path.

17.05.2015 - Training was awful today - it was pouring rain and therefore it meant that Jacky was not really happy to be on agility place and run there. In the beginning, when it wasn't raining that bad, we did tire jump, collapsed tunnel and a-frame. Later we tried to do really long path, what didn't came out that well, because of the weather conditions.

21.05.2015 - This was our last training before 3 week break and competition, which will be on 23rd of May. We did short exercises and a lot of weave poles. Also we did A0 type path and filmed it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PptzyAPmDQ

23.05.2015 - AGILITY COMPETITION

Service: helping at agility competition (8 hrs)

23.05.2015
This competition was really long. We had to be there at 9:00 and got to leave 17:00. I was again assistance to the judge. Also I had to help to measure the time and sometimes build the paths. For A0 paths I was not assistance, because I had to also took part of the competition with my dog and we won 2nd place.

Activity: Agility (6hrs)

12.04.2015 - We started with collapsed tunnel and learned how to play with our dogs, I know it sounds weird, but on agility place my dog just doesn't care about playing. Since there was a lot of us, I had more time teaching Jacky to play and luckily this time he actually wanted to play as well. To teach them to pervade the path without treat and with toy, trainer did path what was short, but with many waltz and for cutting moves. In the end we did also a-farme.

16.04.2015 - This time path was extremely difficult. Inside the path was see-saw, crossover and weave poles. It was also really long (about 20 obstacles) and there were a lot of waltz and for cutting moves. Since the path was really complicated, Jacky got tired really quickly and his enthusiasm disappeared. Although he was slow, he sill gave his best and did everything.

19.04.2015 - Today's path had 21 obstacles including see-saw and weave poles, it was difficult, but Jacky was very energetic and did everything. Also we did a-frame and see-saw again at the end of the training.

23.04.2015 - In class we had only two dogs. This time the path was really difficult, because my trainer decided not to mark it with numbers. Inside the path we had see-saw and weave poles. Jacky was extra energetic and this has been the best training so far. I really liked today's training and I was really happy and satisfied with the outcome.

26.04.2015 - Today I was the only one who attended to class, that made it really difficult for me. I had no breaks and I had to constantly run, so I wearied out quickly. Jacky did really great job and he likes running every time even more. In training we did a-frame, see-saw, tire jump, collapsed tunnel, weave poles and path with 15 obstacles.

30.04.2015 - Jacky was very energetic and wanted to do everything. At first we did a-farme-tunnel-tire jump-collapsed tunnel. It took a bit time for Jacky to jump through the tire jump effectively, after a while he luckily did it. If we had done this exercise we did also dogwalk and in the end an easy path and Jacky did it neatly and fast.

Service: Helping at school orientation competition (4hrs)

Me and my friend decided not to go to run and instead help to organize the orientation competition. Our job was to at the beginning to put ready all the food for competitors and later hand them their package of food. Also later we helped to write the results in the computer.

Service: Teeme Ära Talgud 2015 (Let's do it actions in 2015) (4hrs)

I went to Valga's Animal Shelter to help them to clean up and renew the area. Since I was there early I got to choose the job and I chose to repaint dog kennel. Firstly I thought that the job will be easy but it wasn't, I had to scratch off old paint and then clean off the dust. All the dust got into my nose and airways and it wasn't really pleasant. However I really liked doing good dead and helping dogs.
Also we talked about overall animal shelters and thought it is unethical to take an animal and then abandon it. Me, as an owner of two dogs and a cat will never leave them and take good care of them throughout their whole life.
