It is done. All that is left this week is to tweak the little things and load the motor coach to go. Our first agility trial will be a week from today. Holy smokes, the time has flown!
The following shots were captured from video taken of us on Saturday during a run through at a local club. He is a delight to work with and I look forward to a long and successful career for us as a team!
The lighting is bad, but you can see that I have a competent working dog next to me. It will take us some time to learn how to work really well together, but wow have we come a long, long, long way in nine months!
We did three run throughs on Saturday. The first one he had a cute case of the zoomies and I must admit I was strutting my stuff when we left the ring to hear people say things like "he sure was proud of himself!" and "he was really having a good time!!!" Oh my, if they knew where we began they would have had the same tears as I - he has become confident in my leadership to let me lead him up a set of stairs, into an unknown building with three very loud fans blowing and dogs barking... Confident enough that he let himself go and had a crazy case of the zoomies during our first run - tunnel, table, tunnel, table, tunnel, a-frame, tunnel, table.. and on it went for a minute or two. What a dream moment, that is the run I wish I had on video :)

| Love the attention... |

| Panel jump to start and off to the chute... |
After the chute, dog walk and a jump it's the table.
Table, tunnel and 12 weaves - awesome weaves by my guy!
The weaves were followed by a jump and the a-frame - what dog doesn't love the contacts :)
