AKC Agility: Crystal Lake, IL

It was nice doing agility this weekend with the boys. WAG had an agility trial in Crystal Lake... unfortunately, they have new rules so parking was a complete pain in the butt if you weren't there really early.

Dylan had a fantastic weekend, when it comes to the yellow ... he nailed every contact and event *held* them! Good boy D Dylan :) The great thing was that there were also 24" weave poles... he LOVED those. It was so much easier on his body, it was amazing... he wasn't bouncing off them each time. D ended up with 1 Q in Exc A Std, but had other very nice runs. I was quite proud of him this weekend.

Rumor had some good moments this weekend. He was on restricted activity for over a week because he ripped a huge part of his front pad off and I wanted it to fully heal for the trial. So, he was a bit out of his mind our 1st standard run. His 2nd run was much better when we got a Q in Open JWW... he only needs 1 more! There were very difficult weave entrances all weekend and they never changed them between Excellent, Open and Novice, which is very tough on the baby dogs. Rumz had some nice parts throughout the weekend, but we still have a lot of holes in our training that we will continue to work on :)
