Today, I scratched “take Wynston to the beach” off his bucket list, and boy, was it incredible!
Well, the trial is over, and I will admit that I’m very glad because I didn’t do as well as I hoped. Now I have my “first agility trial” jitters out of the way.
I love Arizona. I love the scenery, the weather and the people. Arizona is a great place to be so involved with animals because it’s such a dog friendly state.
I have a very tight group of girlfriends who are involved in agility and animal acting that I’ve made over the last year. Frequently, we go on adventures with our dogs. We like to do a lot of training in public places and today was the perfect day to head over to the SanTan Village outdoor mall to enjoy the weather! Enjoy the photos!
Even though I am not a professional or vet, I always recommend hip and joint chews to people who have animals with some sort of joint issue. Whether it be soreness, a surgery, arthritis or just old age, I love hip and joint supplements. Pet Naturals of Vermont offers a more natural approach to a healthier life for your pets!
At the beginning of the year, I made one simple goal for Wynston and I; to compete in an agility trial and win a blue ribbon. Well, we are officially registered for our first USDAA trial, which will take place on March 14-15th.
We’ve been working really hard. Wynston is ready. Me…probably not so much. Although I am SUPER excited for the trial, I am also super nervous. Wynston really feeds off my energy so I’m trying to just get pumped up without all the nerves.
The trial will be held at Club Doggie, which is the club where we train. It’ll be nice to have our first competition experience at a place where we are truly comfortable.
Originally, Wynston and I were going to run the starters jumpers course which consists of 14-16 obstacles; tunnels and hurdles. But tonight at class, my trainers convinced me and a classmate to team up for a pairs run. This means that we will each run 9 obstacles in the same ring with our dogs. For example: Jen (my partner) will run the first 9 obstacles with her dog as Wyn and I wait on the side. Then when she’s done, Wynston and I finish it off with the other 9 obstacles while she waits in the ring on the side. Honestly, we’re both beginners and we’re both a little bit crazy, so I am ecstatic to get the experience!
If you’re in the area, come on by to the trial and check it out! Wynston and I will be running on Sunday, March 15th!
