Today was a test. Not one of those annoying emergency broadcast system tests, but a test nonetheless. LOL I just haven’t been able to make up my mind about whether I was comfortable entering Layla in an agility trial yet, or not. I thought it would be a good test to see how Layla would do in a new place and on different equipment before I decided what to do next. I have to admit, that I was pleasantly suprised. Especially with her weaves. She never missed an entry and she finished all 12 poles every time. Not bad for a young dog that’s been weaving for just about a month! All in all, she did great.
I also got some information about where I need to focus my attention on her training, specifically on her dogwalk and A-frame contacts. Also, I keep forgetting that if we’re going to do AKC agility, I need to work on a broadjump with her. Anyway…here is her video from today.

She is doing so well! It was great to see her (and you!) yesterday! It’s nice to go to a new place and see how things are!

She did great! She is so little and cute! I’d say she is ready! Which dog was that yipping at her? That sounds like something Ace would do when he’s “watching.” He’s sitting right here next to me and was interested in the video!

Thanks everybody. Hopefully in the next few weeks we can improve our contacts a bit and figure out the broadjump.
