Hobbs and I went to the open practice again this week, and had a great time. Hobbs was tired really early again, but I am trying to work on his fitness so hopefully that will get better.
This course was pretty fun!
The only tricky parts were 3-5 and 17 to the end. I decided to do 3 -4 as a threadle with Hobbs on my left. It worked wonderfully on the first try! The end was only hard because I had to get ahead of Hobbs enough to do a front cross after the tunnel. I guess I could have tried a rear cross at 19, but I chickened out. Hobbs was super fast at first, but the deep dirt of the arena takes a lot out of him.
I think we are going to plan for an ASCA trial in February. It will be a nice first trial because we are still in Novice in almost everything lol. I wish I had the money to trial in ASCA regularly too, but I would prefer to get his AKC titles first. Then we can go back and do ASCA later. I think there is also an AKC trial in February that would be fun.
Monday will begin our regiment of 3x a week training. Monday, Wednesday (most weeks), and Saturday we will be doing agility! I think I am going to work on handling/obstacle behaviors on Monday, run whatever course is set up on Wednesday, and then we will do a little of both at our group practice on Saturdays. This will be the most we have practiced agility each week since we first started, and I am excited to see what kind of difference it makes.
