Well done you for being brave enough to put so many frustrating moments on You Tube and also for staying so calm and positive with your collie. Made me cry because we all have these moments and we know how it feels!!! What a lovely dog!
@botam2010 Thank you so much. I should put some of our current videos up I guess to show how much a handler can improve with the right instruction! And of course, what a dog can do when it has the proper training. Although I'm now running a border collie with a baby bc on the way up, I still absolutely love running my lovely collie, Maggie.
@goadk123 Thank you. The song is by Alison Krauss (When You Say Nothing At All). Wow, this video was done over 3 years ago and I'm on my home now from Maggie's most successful trial ever. Clean in 7 of 8 Excellent runs - 3 double Q's and a bunch of MACH points. Thank you for making me appreciate how much things have changed since this video was done.
Thank you so much for this video! My ACD/BC/Terrier rescue and I are still in the Training portion of our Agility career and many days I wonder if we'll ever be ready to trial. Your video helps me to remember that a) we are not alone and b) it's all worth it in the end. Thankyouthankyouthankyou! ps...Maggie is awesome
@dmkulbacki I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now. Well, take heart. Alot has changed since I posted this video over 2 years ago. Maggie's height card was successfully challenged and she is now a 20" regular height dog who just got her MX and is now earning QQ's and MACH points (March, 2011). I've gone on to add a border collie who is now 3 and competing in Excellent and another BC who is 12 weeks at this writing :) But Maggie will always be my heart dog :)
Those stupid weaves. My pug does them great OUTSIDE, but the tape and the containment lines always mess her up inside. We Q'ed 0/4 times last weekend due to incorrect entries and popping out. And yet she did them perfectly when we practiced in the practice area outside...
Well, thank you :) Let's just hope I don't have too many blooper videos when it's Cirque's turn although I have a feeling it will be entertaining when I do!
Name of this song? Good video!

Such a touching video for anyone that has gone through, or is going through, learning to train a dog for agility or any other dog sport.

Great video! Really shows the 'true" trials of agility training! What is the name of the song you used? Really fits the "story"!
