NADAC VT Agility Trial 2-25-2023

 Jackie played Chances and Jumpers this weekend at the Cowtown Dog Sports NADAC VT agility trial.

Pearls:

  • In order for the run to count as a Q, once the handler leads out and the dog breaks past the startline, the handler cannot then go back across the startline.
  • When cueing Jackie as she is coming out of a tunnel, keep my arm more down indicating the obstacle is closer to me, rather than having my hand and arm higher up which causes Jackie to search for an obstacle in farther away. If she needs to turn toward me out of a tunnel, be sure to verbally cue "Here!" as well before and as she is coming out of the tunnel.
