There was not too much rain this time for our second Obedience grade 1. Kaïa work was excellent, except for the “Position under march”, she chose to sit, instead of lying down.

We did an excellent with 293/320. Time to work to move to grade 2.

The last round, the final of the Winter Cup.
I feel like I did better than last time, Kaïa and I improved a lot in this competition, it is easy to forget that she is only 2 years old and she is running against veteran dogs.

But looking back, every round was an opportunity to work on something new, something to master for the next round. There is nothing else to find in this kind of competition anyway.

The Agility Halle of Saarburg is amazing, beautiful, and very spacious. You can also walk in the woods for a fairly decent time, it’s always a pleasure for dogs.

Kaïa failed a lot of jumps but wasn’t disqualified on all the runs. I guess this is better than nothing.

After the second agility, where she failed lots of jumps, I was disappointed, to the point where she felt it, and I had to put her away because she was panicking. She is sensitive, and I have to be careful and not to show her those emotions she doesn’t understand.

This was HARD, borderlines depressing to me. I felt out of my league this time. The first run in particular was rough.
