Two days of fun at Jõulumäe

Our third competion in A2 class took us near Pärnu. It was 2.-3. of May at Jõulumäe. On the first day I just helped the organizers and took a long walk in the woods. On the second day I competed and also helped afterwards.
Courses were done by judge Svetlana Kreslina. Altogether we had one DSQ, one 5'er and the jumping course was clean. Now we are one clean run away from class A3. Unfortunately no videos this time, because people forgot to charge their cameras or had bad cellphones.

Second competiton in A2, Viljandi 09.05.15

Our second competion in A2 class and the judge was Magnus Andkvist from Sweden. Quite fast courses with long streches and hand switching had to be perfect. We made some silly mistakes, but overall won all three courses and one agility course was a clean run. So one step closer to A3.

First competition in A2 class

TAKO agility competition with one jumpingcourse and two agilitycourses. Judge was Inga Järv and she made very good A2 courses. For us, I would say, it was pretty good competition, despite that we demolished twice the tyre hoop. Speed was OK, but we can improve quite a lot. Some turns were slow, because I was too close by to the obstacles and late with verbal orders. Contacts are still a problem, but they are getting better and faster. I just need to be more confident and release Erk faster, at least from A-frame. This time we got 10 points from jumping course and from second agility course and 5 points from first agilitycourse. So we are not far from clean runs :)

Erk at Heimtali, three A1 agility courses and transfering into A2

We did two clean runs and had one DSQ. One course, where we were disqualified was just too difficult for A1, specially for fast dogs.

We got our first clean run!!!

We had marvellous day at Maardu. First run didn't go so well (DSQ), because Erk jumped over the A-frame and landed only with two paws on the back side. Also he was so eager to compete, that jumped "on top of" the first hurdle, not over it. Other than these two mentioned things, everything went well on the first course. Second course was our best achievement ever and we didn't make a mistake. For that, clean run and first place. Third course, the jumping course, didn't go so well, because I ran too sharply to the slalom and Erk missed the first gap, so I called him back and we ran it again. We dropped one hurdle also.

Agility is so exciting and nerve-racking

Sometimes it's just so amusing to make fun of Erk.

Winter wonderland

Snow is the greatest stuff ever. It's soft, a bit cold, you can dig in it and main thing is, you can eat it...
