This time we didn't get it right

[Ann Garcia]

Yes, you  have guessed, into the tunnel right entrance, out, back and up the dog walk.

 

After Charly having gone through the tunnel 3 times, we stopped to talk about what we should do next.....

 

This is the last time I change my plan during the run, I had decided during course learning to handle him quite differently, going to the exit and sweeping him round and up with my hand.  It worked perfectly for one other dog.  All the other solutions were pot shots..... or time losers!

 

Lots of laughs though,

I know how that goes, when i first started trialing, i would get so
nervous that i would forget how i had decided to handle something, and
would mess my poor dog up (luckily he was rather forgiving) but then i
would be messed up for the rest of the course and things would go
downhill from there.

I have gotten better about that, but i still finding myself walking the
course more times than the average person, and in several ways at high
speed to find out what works best when i am RUNNING the course, not
just walking it.
