Zae OA OAJ

Zae had two days trialing at two different locations Nov 20 and 27 and earned a title each day. 🙂  Zae has moved up much quicker than anticipated in the levels.  We were in no rush to move up levels with the days here and there we did compete–novice and open were just easy breezy for the little skip skap!

Nov 20 was a novice/open only trial and Zae not only won each of his classes but had the fastest time of all heights too.  He nailed a beautiful dogwalk into a weave entry perfectly in standard.  And in jumpers midway though the run I noticed my shoe was untied so not so good handling :o)

 

 

Mayhem’s 6th birthday was Nov 25–he still is a little baby though 😀 He also competed Nov 27 but was battling his ring stress and did not Q in his runs.

Coming up Dec 19 Zae will turn two years old!  Also, because I am finishing up my last semester before I graduate we will take a break from competing until Dec is over.

 

Zae’s first competition in open and Mayhem MX

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.

Zae NA NAJ !

Oct 23 Zae got his NA and NAJ !  Mayhem also competed (after a lengthy break) got 4th place in jumpers.  Such good dogs!  Both dogs compete this weekend at our clubs trial.  It will be Zae’s first 2-day competition and first time competing in open!

Also, I am now offering personalized online training modules/coaching…see Training for more info. 🙂
