Puppy’s first Q!
It’s day #1 of agility here in Keene, and what a super day!
We started this morning with Colors, and Trot had his game snout on. He Q’d in his level 2 class, and also came in first place! And Tip did an awesome job, staying right with Sherry the whole time — he didn’t Q, but it was a really excellent run!
Next was Trot’s level 3 Standard run, in which he Q’d with a 4th place finish. The big news in this class is that he now moves to level 4 in Standard for next time!
The finale of the day was Full House. Trot went first (16 inch jump height) and had a fine run. But then it was Tip’s turn (20 inches) and I have to say he was perfect! And when the results came in, both Trot and Tip had won 1st place in their respective classes, and both had Q’d! Yes, Tip has his very first Q!!
Sherry has been working super hard with Tip, helping him become less reactive around other dogs, and no doubt that was an important factor. But something new that we tried today was to tire him out before each run. Dave suited up and ran around (sprinted, really!) and now he has the official job of dog tuckerer.
Tune in tomorrow for day #2!
