Yesterday, both dogs took part in a hoopers competition simulator with 4 different courses (plus a joker). Amigo, who has barely trained hoopers but hates to be left out, was only eliminated once! He received 5 faults in both Hoopers and Barrelers, but got a clear round in All Sorts 1! So impressed with how quick he picks things up, especially since his clear run included a chute and he’s never even seen one before. He now has a cute little wooden trophy for his clear run too. Kairo ran Hoopers and Barrelers as un-judged training rounds, but they were so good that I was (kindly) peer pressured into doing a proper run. She was eliminated in All Sorts 1 as she missed the chute (never seen one before), and I sent her back to take it. My fault, but I didn’t want to allow a mistake on her first interaction with the chute. However, she completed All Sorts 2, the hardest course of the day, with just 5 faults! Of the 25 dogs entered, only 3 (including Kairo) completed this course without elimination! Who knew my dogs were so clever!

Maggi enjoying th sun in recovery longing for the run off lead 😂

Maggi May was very brave today with her operation, it went very well, didn’t bark at anyone, it’s left her very sad.

We went to visit Gran today and unknown to us she had some visitors, Maggi was nervous at first, but only bark alittle when she stopped barking she had treats given, she soon settled in on her mat, she has always gone to my mum 😆
