Mendig is a beautiful place. They have a ceiling camera that films everyone, and you can download the films on their website. It offers a nice view of your run.

The judge was Stefanie Semkat from Finland. We won the Agility with a little fault. My fault of course since I’m too close to the frame before the last jump. Disqualified in the Jumping.

The judge was Seppo Savikko from Finland. We finished second place in the jumping. Disqualified on the agility, I failed to recall and redirect her on a big discrimination and she took the jump instead of the seesaw.
The judge was Cédric Bargoin from France. I enjoyed those courses, even if we clearly could do better on the agility, the jumping was a lot better, it’s my favorite of the weekend!

The judge was Corinne Bormann from Luxembourg. She stole the start on the catwalk! I wasn’t ready for that and missed the next reversed jump. The jumping was also full of reversed jumps, and I can feel that she understands them better and fails less on them. And yes, I should be more confident in the weave pole.
This is Halloween at Saarburg! A four-day competition in Germany. Last year it was lots of fun, so we signed up for this edition.

The judge was Peter Saile from Germany. First day, first run, first success! This is the best way to start a competition because Kaïa finished faultless and first place on Agility, which means we take home a signature for grade 3!
4th signature!
We got disqualified on the Jumping, but she did a good run anyway, she tried on the weave pole, but that was not an easy entry.

The judge was Peter Saile. Kaïa and I were a bit tired, the competition on the 31 finished around 23h00, we didn’t sleep well and I could feel that she wasn’t fully focused.
On the Jumping, she made a bad jump and fell on the floor. I was worried that she could be injured and stopped everything to make sure. Fortunately she was fine, and we finished the course.

The judge was Peter Saile. I didn’t realize that I took a bad option at the start of this Jumping, she didn’t understand me well.
On the agility, I knew from the beginning that I would be disqualified on the “out” after the tunnel. She doesn’t understand them well, it’s not logical for her. You definitely can see the hesitation of the dog in front of the jump. And then she just jumped it. Something to work on…

The judge was Rik Hemmen from Luxembourg. Last day of the competition. A little fault on the jumping (a bar fell on the floor), and a stunning 28 seconds to finish the run. We take the second place on the podium.
And the last run of the competition, I was late like a train on a strike day after the weave pole and had to do some damage control.
Kaïa finished faultlessly and we stepped onto the first place of the podium. This allows us to claim another signature. We only need one more to move to agility grade 3!
