2012 - Denver's First Trial 7.1.12 - "I've missed you"

READ ME READ ME :P
What a great day but Im so tired!! -_- Trials shouldnt go for like 18hrs but still we had a great time, Den was awesome we just are a little rusty and need to get back in Sync.. his 2nd masters jumping OMG even though we DQed he was awesome I sat him at the startline and he was just like OMG OMG OMG let me go LOL... there was drool flying everywhere hehehe but I loved it! and I cant believe it we finally got a Masters Agility Q :D :D :D I have never gotten a masters agility pass so I was over the moon with that!! Well worth hanging out there till 12;45am!
I dunno for everything bad there was so many good things and Im just really happy with Den we nailed our weave enteried which has always been an issue for us and he was just flowing oh and we got our see-saw or wee-saw contacts :P Dunn ask why its so small, something to do with the rule changes we have that and now all our tyres are breakaways which is awesome :)
I am just so happy with Den and yesterday I had so much fun catching up with old people and meeting new ones :) Bring on our next trial on the 4th Feb :)

I like the weesaw, the dogs prefer it, its easier on their joints when it hits the ground, doesnt bounce the small dogs as high and who cares if its "embarrassing" our handling and courses are embarrassing compared to the americans anyway, you cant really compare the 2 countries, they do everything "bigger and better" so why not the seesaw? I doubt the Americans would care anyway because we are only a tiny blip in the worldwide agility sport.

My dogs definitely prefer the weesaw.

- my 2 cents

@Evelyndi I think its a little extremem dont mind it for the little guys but why can we have an ajdusting see-saw similar to everything else. for the big dogs it seems tobe a little of a waste but for the little guys like yours or Ella it'll be fantastic.. as it was pointed out no one else in the world does it.. I dunno Im 50/50 yes for the littlies though they need it it makes it all fair on time and all that jazz and better for them :)

[Evelyndi]

@sammiimichellii yeah i think its a hard one, if they're going to put it back to full height they need to do something to differentiate it from the dw, because it is the same angle/colour/material so people who don't have decent verbals make it very hard for their dogs to tell the difference and I have seen many a dog be scared of the dw after a flyoff the seesaw thinking it was a dw. They need rubber cleats or a different angle or something.

@Evelyndi Much agreed.. Dens had a few moments like that and I believe there needs to be a difference :) someone will have a soloution one day!

U two did awesome! And im kinda liking the peewee teeter! ( Piper has teeter fears)

[sammiimichellii]

@Buddy0627 We have been calling it the wee-saw its good for dogs with fears but there were alot of dogs who were put off by it yesterday.. Im not a huge fan atm

[RachHiggs]

He looks great Sam!! You two really are gonna be unstoppable hey

[Evelyndi]

@sammiimichellii lets hope so :) 

[Evelyndi]

@sammiimichellii oh and making it adjustable would make the height changes take yet MORE time and you saw on the w/e how long our trials are going already with the increase in NSW competitors. The length of that trial was not that unusual unfortunately

[mollybrandybillly]

wow you guys did great and you were having a blast out there.

awesome venue lol kept thinking to myself theres no way rusty could get out of there lol. its fenced haha

[Court22132]

Good job! I really hate that teeter idea, omg. I REAllY hope they don't do that anywhere else... Because, my dog would hate that.... It really wrecks the idea of a teeter.
