Hob Nob Leda's 2nd AKC Trial

[contactsportsagility]

Nice dog, you have done a great job with her!

[AgilityMalamute]

@contactsportsagility

Thanks! Leda sure likes agility. Now *I* just have to remember to RUN instead of standing there like a statue watching Leda. :>)

[Samanthamika]

WOW Tara, you and Leda look great! I love watching your videos!

Sam & Hob Nob Ziggy

[AgilityMalamute]

@Samanthamika

Thanks Sam!! Leda & I are starting to 'click' out there a bit! I just love running my dream girl Leda. : ) Hugs to Ziggy!!!

[gqjarrell]

Leda looked great!!! You both are going to be awesome. I do feel you have been in CA to long you ran like a girl from Baywatch!!! Just kidding. Maybe you need some yellow cleats. Ok all joking aside you have done a really really great job. I can't wait to see more videos.

[AgilityMalamute]

@gqjarrell

HAHAHA! You are too funny! Yellow cleats probably would have solved my problem, hee hee! Thanks so much for watching Leda.

[Flyballnutx2]

Awww Tara, I just love watching her run! She reminds me a lot of Boost...she's trying SO hard to be right and yet still do it all at warp speed. She is looking fabulous!!

[AgilityMalamute]

@Flyballnutx2

Thanks Tanya! Leda does try SO hard to be right (so do I!). She is REALLY REALLY REALLY loving agility! Thanks so much.

[RedborderColliefreak]

Wow you did great , I see what ya meant by scary. Desi did that to me once about gave me a heart attack.

[AgilityMalamute]

@RedborderColliefreak

HI Stephanie! Thanks for watching Leda's video. haha, sorry to hear Desi diod a scary AF to you as well. These young dogs forget that they are mortal sometimes!

[lhduckworth]

Great work! Fabulous weaves.

[AgilityMalamute]

@lhduckworth

Thanks! Leda sure loves her weaves!

[jazzcollie]

The courses in the UK are so different we have the courses alot more spread out and alot easier angles. See my videos for a few examples.

Leda is a great dog and her weaves are amazing what method do you use?

[AgilityMalamute]

@jazzcollie

Thank you! I will look forward to checking out your videos, I've never seen UK courses before. : ) I used the 2X2 method for Leda's weaves, she is VERY solid on her entries. It was easy too, she was weaving 12 poles in just 7 days.

[fulltiltagility]

Congrats on a great weekend!! Go LEDA!

[AgilityMalamute]

@fulltiltagility

Thanks! Now we taking off from trialling until mid-January. I want to feel confident enough in her contacts to leave her on them and get outta town next time! : ) We are going to train, train, train!!!!

[sandychanchan04]

The contacts in some standard runs are brilliant!

[AgilityMalamute]

@sandychanchan04

Thank you kindly!

[huskymusher97]

wow. that A frame.... wow. she like didnt touch the whole down plank!! shes ok, right? you guys look great, keep it up!!!

[AgilityMalamute]

@huskymusher97

Leda is completely fine, she landed in the thick dirt and was raring to go on, she wasn't even sore. She is a typical young, fast dog... she learns from these mistakes and was perfect on every frame thereafter.

[AgilityMalamute]

@huskymusher97

Oops, comment got cut-off... I had added Thanks for asking about Leda. She is one tough cookie! : )

[Passion4agility]

yayyy Leda!!! She look ssoooo awesome Tara!

[AgilityMalamute]

@Passion4agility

Thanks! Now I'm taking off more than a month to gain more confidence in her contacts. I REALLY want to trust that I can leave her on them... it's so hard to get there mentally!!! I know she can do it!!! Time to train!

[live4agility]

Nice job you guys, congrats on the title!

[AgilityMalamute]

@live4agility

Thanks! Now if we could just get out of Nov JWW!!!!

[nglittle]

@AgilityMalamute Hey Tara, JWW is always challenging, so it's very common to get standard legs first on the very fast dogs. And combine that with Novice having so much spacing between obstacles and you have an even greater challenge. It will get better once you get out of Novice.

[Bcgoldenagility]

She just looks awesome!!

[AgilityMalamute]

@Bcgoldenagility

Thank you!!! Now we are taking off more than a month to work contacts! I need to feel like I can trust Le enough to leave her on them an move on to the next obstacle or we'll be in trouble later, haha!

[LeoxPomeranian]

Wow, you two did a fantastic job! Leda is amazing! She was going so fast she flew over that A Frame! :)

[AgilityMalamute]

@LeoxPomeranian

Thanks! : ) Leda sure learned her lesson on that AF!

[bcagility]

Yayyy a Leda Video!!! She looks amaziiing, as always!  Congrats on the NA title... she is moving right along =)

[AgilityMalamute]

@bcagility

Thanks!! I am proud of her! : ) Now it's your turn to get a video posted, hee hee. ;-)

[scarlet1266]

super de duper

[AgilityMalamute]

@scarlet1266

Thank you so much for watching Leelee!

[AppyCollie]

Great runs! scary A Frame...

was that at ARC? lol I know where that is, I didn't know they hosted trials! that's like less than 1/2 an hour away from where I live!

[AgilityMalamute]

@AppyCollie

Yeah, that AF gave ME a heart attack, but Leda is a tough dog... she wasn't even sore! Ahhh!!!! The trial was in Rancho Murieta (?) California ... I can't remember the name of the building, I just moved to CA. : )

[FASTSheltieAndBC]

wow she looks great! I am on the list for a Juice x Sequel pup...crossing my fingers =)

[AgilityMalamute]

@FASTSheltieAndBC

How exciting! A Sequel puppy will be Leda's cousin! : ) I'll cross my fingers for you too!!!

[McKayR23]

Leda looks great! Very spunky and fast! Contacts looked awesome, except for the one "omg aframe" Not sure she touched the down plank! But the rest were perfect! Can't wait to see more!



[AgilityMalamute]

@McKayR23

She is spunky!!!& yeah, that AF WAS scary!!! Glad she learned from it... ugg!

[melbagus]

Simply "wow"! Leda is a little speedster and her weaves are just amazing to watch. I love how she is so intent on you during the run - what a wonderful bond.

[AgilityMalamute]

@melbagus

Thanks!!! Leda does have a lot of handler focus, for better or worse!!! : ) She is so my dream dog 100000X's over!

[LuvBCs]

Wow!!!! I can't believe this is only Leda's 2nd AKC trial... she is AMAZING. I was speechless after her weave poles in the open standard run, she is crazzyy fast!

[AgilityMalamute]

@LuvBCs

LOL yeah... Leelee likes the weaves! ;-) I've been dying to get her into 12... gotta get out of Nov JWW still!!! THANKS for watching!!!!

[HighVoltageBC]

Holy. Cow. Tara... that dog is seriously THE FASTEST thing I have EVER SEEN. 'Scuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH GO LEDALEE!!!!!!!!! She is dynamite, Tara! Keep up the great work!!!!! GREAT JOB! AH! I am so so so so so so so pumped to see where the next couple months take you... Soon Ledalee will be DOMINATING the agility world :)

[AgilityMalamute]

@HighVoltageBC

hee hee... Leda is just trying to keep up with Bltizie! ;-) he is setting a super example for her! I need to handle more like you and stay out of her way, I cause so many bars, haha! Thank you for your super sweet comment!

[nglittle]

Tara, she looks great! She had one little oops on the aframe where she went airborne, but the rest of the contacts looked great. I am so happy for you - and Leda is having a blast out there with her best friend. What a wonderful team you too are...and the best thing is that it will only get better.

[AgilityMalamute]

@nglittle

Thanks Nancy. : ) Yeah, that one AF scared us BOTH! Uggg!!!! She was VERY careful after that!!!!! I am trying to find someone with a rubberized DW I can practice on... she is ALWAYS soooo much slower on rubber! I would have thought she would be faster. We did have a great time playing agility, now we take off til mid-January to TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN!! : ) We still need 2 Nov JWW legs... ahhhh!.

[nglittle]

@AgilityMalamute Hey Tara, Schema also had issues on being a bit more careful and slower when she first did the rubberized contacts. But with more and more experience, she runs them pretty much the same now. The reason why they are slower is that it just feels different to them. Eventually, she'll run on them just as fast.

[tnself]

GO Leda!!! She looks great!

[AgilityMalamute]

@tnself

Thanks Tori, I'm slowly learning how to handle a fast dog, haha!

[LexiBuddyAgility]

Awesome runs! That Standard gets us everytime! Well except for 2/7 times we've tried! Haha. :) Love watching ya'll run!

[AgilityMalamute]

@LexiBuddyAgility

Haha, thank you!

[dbsiren]

[AgilityMalamute]

@dbsiren

[dbsiren]
