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.
