HABOC AKC Agility Trial
Not Nina’s best weekend. Judge Janet Budzynski set some nice courses, but one little thing kept us from qualifying more than once. We got Jumpers on Saturday for 13 points, but that was it.
However! Zhora got her first-ever qualifying run in only her third-ever run at a trial (and her second trial day ever). She is not “trialing” for real yet, she is just coming out for a day here and there to get some experience, but I was THRILLED with both her runs this weekend, she was focused, drove to the equipment, and smooth! Feels like she is starting to get the hang of this agility game! She is still very handler focused (she is a baby), but she is starting to learn to focus on the equipment when she should. I am only asking for weaves twice, since I don’t want to make it a “thing”, but I also want to give her a chance to get it right. So happy with where she is at!
Nina Jumpers yesterday (13 points), she was WILD and went all over the place, but we held it together:
