The judge was Tamara Cuypers from Belgium.

An other competition without faults.
The first run was flawless.

A late command created some confusion on the second barrel, but she quickly recovered an finished the course. She even did some extra after the finish line.

The judge was Tessa Paret from Belgium.

Today was the flawless day. Not a single fault was made. This is our first signature in H1. Two more and we can climb to H2!

The judge was Marilyn Lemoine from France.

Last Saturday, we were at Domvast for a Hooper competition. Hooper is not yet a standardized international sport, but the French Hoopers is close to the Belgian. Our dogs were not lost at all.
There is one main difference: in levels 0 and 1, your dog must go across the box. At first, I did not understand why. But after this competition, I realized that it makes it easier to control your dog and make it change direction. It’s a great tool to teach young dogs and build good habits.

For the first course, Kaïa was super exited to meet a new place and people, and she kind of not listened to me for the first 2/3 obstacles. Granted, I could have predicted that and been more present to help her.

There are way more gates in those courses, and we don’t train much on them. Something to change.

The last course was way better; she still struggled to find the first gate but cleared the rest with ease.
