Trial update

We went to a USDAA trial at the beach.  Drum roll please......... Miley got on the table!!!!  WhooHoo!! 


Sunrise

First up was gamblers

I had timed it and figured I be right at the tunnel to start the gamble but we had time left before the buzzer so I had to add a few obstacles.  On this run I wanted to try a few things to see where we were.  I tried to threadle #2 to#3 ( my numbers) but she back jumped it . So something that still needs work. I also tried to wrap my #7 because I keep making her drop the bar at home.  Well we dropped it here too. So another thing to still work on.  But she held her start line, did all her contacts correctly and weaved too.  Watch her jump in the air at the end of the video.



Next up was standard.

 I really didnt think she would get on the table.  But she got right on.  I didnt know what to do.  Should I run out of the ring and celebrate or keep going.  Ugh!  I really just couldnt decided so I chose to stay.  I hope it wasnt the wrong decision.  There were two jumps after the table and then turn into the weaves.  I decided to RC #9  because so many dogs just didnt seem to know they were going to the weaves when the handler post turned.  But Miley missed the weaves and then stressed. Ugh!!!!!  I couldnt get her back.  I hope I didnt transfer the table stress to the weaves.  She has missed the weaves at other trials and I just bring her around and she does them.  Maybe she just needed to blow off steam after getting on the table.  I hope thats all it was. I know the end of the video isnt good but  you have to take the good with bad.
