The Weekend Report: Fear Forgotten!

This past weekend, Jimmy and I attended just one day of an agility trial given by the Mattaponi Kennel Club. It was held in the same building that a few years ago gave Jimmy quite a bad scare. I didn't know whether Jimmy would still hold on to that fear so I only signed up for one day. I was very happy to see he cruised right into the building without hesitation. He didn't seem at all afraid so I do believe he has let that incident go. YAY! Thankfully, the A/C vents on the ceiling weren't noisy this time so his fear was not renewed. I was a tad worried about that all day.

The courses were fun, fast, and fairly easy. Jimmy cruised through both Standard and Jumpers without much trouble, other than a couple of poor handling incidents by me. Fortunately they didn''t cost us the Q, so we had another nice Double-Q to put toward our National Championship qualifications (and PACH2). We also earned another 47 points!




Jimmy's breeder, Anne, came for a visit and kindly ran the video camera for us.

Here's our Standard run. I get a good chuckle watching myself run. I am certainly not the most graceful handler out there. Jimmy is a saint for following my lead so well.






And Jumpers....Pardon my butt being in your face as I leash Jimmy afterwards! LOL!
