Zae AX and first QQ

by pyrwild, posted in trial results

Zae recently earned his AX putting him into masters standard.  Our competition after that he earned his first double QQ with a third and fourth place 😀

Mayhem has been doing super too and running very fast in competition.  He is such an amazing dog and it feels great to be pushed as a handler in the ring with him.   The Bad Dog Agility power rankings are out for the beginning of the year and Mayhem is the 3rd fastest boston this year so far…I intend to keep pushing to be the best we can be 🙂

Next several competitions are all in different locations and on different surfaces–excited for a change ! 🙂

Some updates

We have been competing a sunday here and there and the dogs have been doing super and having great results.  Since my last update, Mayhem has gotten 2 QQ’s, four first places, a third place and Zae has gotten several execellent Q’s with great times several times faster than the master dogs 🙂   He gets more confident each run and we are having a lot of fun.

Mayhem was #3 on 2016’s Bad Dog Agility’s breed power scores This was after just beginning to compete again and some runs with a stressed out Mayhem.  He has been running beautifully at trials since then.  After many years and trying countless things twice over to combat Mayhem’s ring stress I might have finally found a solution.  I have a food bowl game I quickly work on with the dogs several times a week and Mayhem struggles through it but has really helped him work through stress.  I do include this method in my Winter Games class and the next session will begin March 1st.  Registration is open now.  For more info click here.

Today marks 2 years since I brought Zae home from Germany.  He has taught me so much and helped push me even further to be the trainer that I am today.  Excited for many more years with my little skipskap !

Zae’s first competition in open and Mayhem MX

by pyrwild, posted in trial results

Zae continues to handle trialing effortlessly!  Really pleased with his dogwalks in competition so far and very happy with his reared weave entry in trial.  Though, competing in nested courses between levels creates its own challenge for me as a handler too as I got lost in one of Zae’s run because I was still in the mindset of Mayhem’s run.

Mayhem had some nice runs too and finally earned his MX with a 1st place !  Though, a missed jump each run was the trend at this trial with him..but otherwise he was running nicely and had some great parts.  Pushing some skills in competition with him and was impressed by his ability to rear weaves in a trial setting 😀  Just starting to get back in the swing of competing with Mayhem but it is feeling good.
