I went to a trial in Sanford NC. I only took Zoey. Its a small one ring trial and the ring is the only thing in the building. No other dogs are allowed around the ring except the next dog running. People can watch but no dogs. So it makes it nice for a dog who stresses up. Its a long time between runs, hours, so I would take her to this very nice park and go hike between runs.
The first day she did ok but kept running around jumps. Which hasnt been our problem. But at least she came to me at the end of the runs, which was a huge problem the last time we came here. She wouldnt come to me and would keep running through the tunnels. She also had no biting behavior, which is awesome. So her first run when she ran around a lot of the jumps, in novice jumpers, I let it go. I dont think you should keep correcting dogs by making them go back and get jumps they missed. Its demotivating. And will make them slow down.
