Hooper is still kind of hard to do for us. We don’t have enough training.
On the first run, I don’t properly guide her to the barrel and she happily goes for the first tunnel, disqualifying us.

On the second run, I failed to push her correctly and she came back to me. There is no video because my phone battery died right before the run.

We also had the privilege to meet Kaïa great grandmother (Joudy DU FIL DU TEMPS) and grandfather (Malouk OF SPEED OF LIGHT):

This is an other part of Louvain-la-neuve university.

It was supposed to be four days of agility at Arlon. On Thursday 15: competition, then training with Marine Tonglet on Friday, followed by competition on the weekend.

But on Saturday morning, I found my dog at the back of her cage, she didn’t want to come out. After a short walk, I realized something was wrong: she was behind me, didn’t run much with other dogs, and wasn’t walking properly.

Of course, I immediately decided that she was not going to compete. Fortunately, a physiotherapist was present, and she agreed to check Kaïa immediately. Turns out she had multiple muscle aches that needed rest and massages.

After a good massage and a full day of rest, my beloved Kaïa was back on her feet by the evening. She was able to run on Sunday.

After 2 weeks of forced rest, no sports, no running, nothing. She released most of her frustration on the course. She thinks less and runs more.

On the jumping, I felt alone beside the weave pole…

It’s my first time at this kennel club. Nice and well-organized competition. Courses were on the “hard” side and challenging.

The first day we finished second on the agility, thanks to a fault at the weave pole. She was disqualified on the Jumping.

On Sunday, we won the jumping, with 2 faults, being the only one not disqualified.

After the competition, we visited a little dog pool to cool down after this hot day.
