Our First Agility Trial

I took Cisco to a local ASCA trial last weekend and we ended up having a blast! It was a great show for our first trial and we ended up doing very well. I was prepared for us to be a wreck but I was proved wrong! We had a few mistakes but now we know what to work on. Luckily ASCA allows training in the ring; you will be eliminated but it's a great option if you need to step in. We had one elimination because Cisco broke his start line stay to sniff something so I went back and set him up again. Bummer too because it was such a nice run! Oh well. I would rather have him do it correctly and not Q than let him get away with it and have a hard time trying to fix it later.

I am so proud of him and us as a team. We've only been training for a year now and Cisco just turned 8 years old this month. He really enjoys it! And I will have to admit I am catching the bug too :lol:

Cisco earned his Novice Jumpers title, Open Jumpers Title, Novice Regular Title, a Q towards his Novice Gamblers title, a Q towards his Open Regular title and got to play in Elite Jumpers! And to top it off, he got 2 Novice High in Trials! I totally wasn't expecting all that but I'll take it :smile2:

Here's a pic of him with all his ribbons, looking quite proud lol.

The quality of these videos aren't great but you get the idea. I didn't realize my mom's phone took awful videos. I'll have to let her use mine next time. Enjoy!

looking really good:yes:
I was impressed with your gamblers:pop- we haven't done any of those type classes because we don't have very good distance skills. I'm always surprised when we do manage a little distance......

Destin is still working on staying with me.........:rolleyes2:
 
Don't worry, Lux is working on that too lol!

I was nervous about the Gamblers class. We don't have great distance work. The second Gamblers we did was harder. I ended up walking over the line so I would stop confusing Cisco. But now we know what to work on!
 
Congrats and great job! I really enjoyed all your videos - Enzo did too! He loves watching agility. I think he's done it before in a previous life, lol.
 
Wowee! That is from your first trial weekend?! I hope you are wearing sunglasses, the future of this team is Bright!!!!
