sigh - not the weekend for Midna & me. I had the goal of gathering our last 2 scores for tryouts qualifications - which out of 8 runs shouldnβt have been hard for usβ¦ yetβ¦. didnβt get a single clear score this weekend. I had felt that we were a really strong team with excellent connection + skills - but since Astra has starting trialing my βtrial relationshipβ with Midna in the ring seems to be affected. some things to think about + work thru in that regard. she had a blast regardless, ran her heart out, had SO many moments of brilliance, a few βone little thingβ runs, along with some hot-mess-express bits. always happy to go home with the best dogs *for me* ~ now, back to training !!
I am SO PROUD of Astra and I loveeee this little jumping flea so much π₯Ήπ I am a huge proponent of building dogs up & love to see the results showing after her whole 2.25 minutes of ringtime this weekend with toy prior to this run β¨ even if other canβt see it, I know the potential in this girl and wow !! π€©π¦βπ₯ most importantly, is how much she ENJOYS the whole ordeal. she loves traveling, hotels, trials, her warm up time/tugtugtugtug, her runs, the whole thingβ¦ her owner (& breeder π) are beyond proud of her - what else really matters π
Astraβs J1 FEO from from this AM. i couldnβt be happier with this little girls attitude, engagement, oozing drive & love for trialing ~ for a super young girl (Just Turned 2) who has only trained at her own facility & trialing is her only access to βother placesβ she is doing SO WELL !!!!!
J3 - really tough courses today !!! another beautiful run w/ one mistake π₯² she hit the weave entry but failed to stick it. otherwise, really happy with everything else. sheβs a good girl & tomorrow is a new day ~
A2 jumpers today - beautiful run but Midna wtf π₯² super happy with her turn @ 2, the opening in general and how clear + efficient my handling was while getting everywhere I needed to be β¨
so proud of the baby !!! Astra got to start out our ISC weekend with FEO/with toy in level 1 π such a fun journey with this special girl ~
