Again another CACIAG competition

This time 18.06.2016 we were in Tallinn, at Veskimetsa equestrian sportcentre, just next to the Tallinn Zoo. This was our first time there and I was a little dissapointed with it. The weather wasn't supporting us, because it was constantly raining and the course field was almost covered with water and muddy. Luckily large dogs ran first and that gave us an advantage, because otherwise it would have been total mud race after minis and midis. Also all the field looked small from my point of view and I was afraid that someone will get hurt, because Anne Tammiksalu's (judge) courses are usually difficult. She likes acute angles and tightly placed obstacles, but in these conditions it would be dangerous for the dogs.
Anyway we came to compete and try to do it as securely as possible.

It started with an agilitycourse, where we almost (ALMOST!!!) won. There was one bar that Erk dropped quite at the end of the run and it was probably my fault, because I stood in front of his landing path. Though one person said that in such a weather the dogs wet tail hair might wrap around the bar and fall because of that. The video's quality is not so good, but at least it gives an overview of our run. Also I have to mention, that only 4 dogs got the time out of 19th and we were the fastest.

After that came two CACIAG courses (agility + jumping), that did not go well at all. We got DSQ in both of them. The first run was definitely my fault, because I made a bad handling solution in the second and third obstacle, where Erk took one hurdle from the wrong side, but after that he went totally crazy. Our contacts did not work, most angles were wide and in jumping course happened the same thing, except without the contacts. Erk just ran where he wanted and did not listen to me.
