This is our second time at Canis, it’s even bigger than last year: 5 rings instead of 4 and 650 dogs.
We didn’t do a great job—plenty of things went off track. I often missed better ways to handle stuff and didn’t always see where the real challenges were.

The judge was Becci Hodson from UK.
Disqualified on the first out, we failed to handle the weave pole and the long jump.
The judge was Thora Van Der Stock from Belgium.
A fun and fast course that we definitely could’ve handled better. I got a bit greedy at the weave poles. I should’ve just taken my time and let Kaïa finish properly. No need to rush it.

Training with Mark Fonteijn.
Learning new techniques and trying out different approaches is always fun. This was super helpful, and I’m hoping to turn it into something I can actually use in competitions once I’ve mastered it.

The judge was Ivan Amez Alvarez from Spain.
A great and fast course that we could handle way better. I got greedy at the weave pole when I could take my time and let Kaïa finish the weave pole, there was no need to rush it.
The judge was Tom Elsen from Belgium.
She was just not listening. I recall her multiple times, and she ignored me twice. I had to act at some point and show that it was not ok.
I also realize that my calls were really weak and not the usual ones. But still, if I use her name, she should come to me.

Agility on Mark Fonteijn course could not be filmed, I was not aware that I suddenly moved to be the first dog to run. My camera was not ready, I was not ready…
The judge was Saskia Vansteelant from Belgium.
Nice jumping overall. I tried to fix a good weave entry and ended up confusing her a bit, but aside from that, she did great. I was happy to finish the competition on something that wasn’t a total mess. She did skip a jump and went straight for the tunnel but that one’s on me.
