Totally dying inside.
With lots of excitement.
Duh, of course.
Anyway.
The good news is that we mastered weave poles. Kind of. Right now Pepper can do it with lots of direction from me. We are still working with the Channel Weaves in class but I think its important to be able to do them for Saturday.
The only issue right now is the fact that Pepper is kind of scared of the A-frame. The one we practice on for floor time is super slippery and I accidentally got him scared of it directly after the video was taken. I'm worried he'll refuse me at the trial even though the one provided there will be rubberized. Perhaps tomorrow I can make a trip back out to Pet Play and Stay and desensitize him to the A-frame. He'll run the slippery one at a low height and the rubberized one at full height during the trial. Pfffttt.... thats all I'm worried about for now.
To counter act my nervousness and worries, I made a list of things I will need for Saturday!
Things to bring to agility trials:
- Premium
- Confirmation letter or e-mail
- Running Schedule
- Leash
- Collar
- Treats
- Dog toys
- Dog water
- Collapsible bowl
- Doggy bags
- Crate (optional)
- Yoga mat
- Towel
- Food and drink
- Camera
- Purse w/ money
- Chair
The crate is optional for Pepper only because he doesn't like his crate very much. I want him to be as comfortable as possible at the trial and as stress-free as possible. Instead of a crate I am bringing a yoga mat with a tie-blanket. Oh, and my sister. Anytime I need to leave the dog "by himself" he will actually be with my family.
Caught up on blogging. Now I can nap in peace!
