Since it’s an unofficial competition, instead of running Kaïa at her official level H1, I chose to move her directly to H2 to see how she would manage.
H2 is also what we actually train at, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

The judge was Tamara Cuypers from Belgium.

When I looked at the course, I already knew it would be difficult. It was messy, and I failed to make her understand what I wanted.

The judge was Ari Valkhoff-Leclerq from the Netherlands.

This was more the kind of course we train on, just a little bigger. The judge took advantage of the large hall and created a course with a lot of distance. Even though we did not succeed, I think she did great, covering the distance happily.

Team course

This challenge also featured a team course. So Kaïa and Maïky teamed up to try to finish this very wide course. The farthest hoop was 18 m from the box. You can see both dogs struggling to cover the distance since they are not used to it yet. I’m still proud of them since they both actually closed the distance at some point.
