Ken AKC Agility JWW May27 2011 Dixon, CA

TRACS 4-day AKC trial at Dixon. This is one of the biggest AKC trials of the year. Lots of fast dogs today. There are two U.S. world team members in the 12 inch group at this trial. It's quite amazing that there are 2 out of the 4 small dog world team members here in the bay area. I really feel lucky that we get to see them trial locally.
We had a clean run and came in 4th today. 2 to 3 seconds from the fastest time. Those 2 to 3 seconds are huge. Hmm, what can I do to help Ken cut his time even half a second? I think about this all the time. Today, I experimented a little by doing a lead out push instead of a pivot. Also the serpentine in the latter part of the run, I tried running outside of the third jump in order to handle the serpentine faster. I had to hustle quite a bit though... In either case, I'm not sure if it made a difference but experimenting here and there is good.
Ken actually didn't seem to be feeling so well today. We'll keep an eye on him and see how he is tomorrow.
