Owen Weeni's agility weekend. (pics added!)

**areese** · 08-19-2007, 11:54 AM

Got back last night from an agility trial...we stayed overnight Thursday and Friday cuz it's a few hours away and started early....
I'm am VERY pleased to announce that Owen Weenie is back to his old speedy self!! :banana: :banana: :banana: I was worried...he is less than enthusiastic in class (which is pretty much how he has been there outside...prob. Fear Of Where Poo Was) but the last trial we were at he was slow also. But he was wonderful and speedy this weekend. Finished up his level 5 Snookers with 2 Q's, finally got another level 5 Standard!!! I have to get in front of him at the contacts (A-frame, dogwalk, teeter) which slows him down a lot but he gets so geeked he jumps the contact zones and I'm afraid he will get hurt as well as NQ...gotta work on that still but he was still so fast in Standard that he was 10 seconds under course time despite me slowing him on the contacts and a slow teeter (it tips so damn late) and it was a 180 yard course!! He knocked a bar in Wildcard so NQ'd but that was my fault as I was running along the outside to speed him up and moved in on him I think. Best of all he was his old self, smiling and his tail wagging a million miles an hour as he ran. He ALSO gave KISSES to friends Pat, Nancy, and Becky which is a first.
Pictures later after I sort through the ribbons.
7 more Standards, 2 Wildcard and he will have his CPE Championship

maybe he just needed a bit of a break? Or else he decided he was darned if he was going to let Laika get all the glory!!!

Owen Weenie!

Owen Weenie!

I did quit running him in class...he just watched for the last 3-4 weeks and I ran either Laika or Salsa...Last week I ran him and he was better so maybe he just needed a break. Or perhaps he was reacting to me...I did run him in USDAA which makes me more nervous than CPE cuz some of the people are more competative and kinda look down on non-traditional breeds running agility. I felt like I had something to prove and that pressure might have been too much for Owen cuz he's very sensitive to how I feel. I also only entered him in two runs each day this weekend cuz he has finished most of his level 5.
I'm just so thrilled...I love not having to worry about how my dog is gonna act and just worry about doing the course right and making my dog have the best time ever.

Owen Q'd 3 out of 4.

And here are his USDAA ribbons too. From last month. USDAA is a competative venue so I am so proud of these...
