Video Of Olive's First Two Agility Trials

4/27/2010

"Congratulations on your weekend, Patt!  An Absolute for Nexus and a bunch of other placements for Dorndorf dogs! That's great that Seiko is certified for tracking!   

I've posted video of Olive's first four agility runs on YouTube. I had someone else tape the final standard run, so Olive is just a little bug in the background.  And this is just quick and low-res video.  But these will give you a better idea of how Olive is doing. -- Diane"

Olive's Second Agility Trial With John and Diane

4/25/2010

0 Comments

 
Southern California Portuguese Water Dog Club 
Held in Walnut, California  (outdoors on grass) 

JWW judge Sherry Porter Score 100, Time 37.44 (SCT 37), First place 
STD judge Scott Stock Score 95, Time 60.72 (SCT 68), First place
"Hi again Patt, No, that's not a picture from last weekend.  Those are fresh new ribbons that Olive won at the agility trial today. 

Olive earned her first 100 with her jumpers run.  Once again she ran to Diane in the middle of the course, but she came back quickly and still made course time.  

We think that Olive expects treats from Diane, so we're going to be careful about that for a while. Once she gets used to running full courses, this will be less of an option. 

Her standard course was good but just as she started there was a mess of barking behind us.  The first few obstacles were a little slow, but she picked it up and did well after that.  There was one bobble after the dog walk, where it looks like she was heading towards the exit for some cookies, but other that the R for the next jump she recovered and finished strong.

I'm really impressed with how well she's doing with so little time to get to know us.

Thanks again!  -- John"

Seiko Completes Certification Track

4/24/2010

0 Comments

 
Seiko, seven months old, quickly and successfully worked a regulation TD (human footstep) track laid by tracking judge Lois Ballard to become certified as ready to participate in a tracking test. Thanks to Lois for taking a few photos and sending them to me.

From the Tracking Club of Wisconsin (TCoW) website:

"A certification track is a blind track with the same requirements as a standard AKC TD test track. It will be from 440 to 500 yards in length and will have 3 to 5 turns. The track will be aged from 30 minutes to 2 hours old.

The Certification is the judge’s statement that the dog has satisfactorily performed a certification track and is ready to enter a TD test."

Notes From Diane Webb

4/19/2010

0 Comments

 
"I was really impressed with Olive yesterday.  I think every mistake she made was really our fault -- we just don't know her that well at this point.  John took a few things for granted in his handling (although he generally did a great job of handling his Novice girl).  I didn't remember to tell him about her tendency to offer downs when sitting in front. 

On the standard run, I was standing (with Asti in a chair and a cooler full of treats) right in her field of view from the table to the weaves.  Olive has never done so many obstacles without getting treats before and I'm sure when she saw me, she thought "Cheese!"  She ran straight to me, went back to John, and then came racing towards me again.  John opened his arms wide and called her, and she went racing back to him. 

Next weekend, I'll make sure to be taping from a less visible spot.  I certainly had to do that with Asti when she was getting started and even Remy initially. 

After the weaves, Olive tried to cut behind John to do the teeter, but she corrected quickly to do the double.  Let's just say that after Asti, we will not complain about an attempt to do a wrong course teeter! 

Olive's entries yesterday and next Sunday were really about learning where she's at, and we did learn a lot.  Olive showed that she is solid on every obstacle with the exception of weaves.  I never thought she'd Qualify in both runs -- that was a pretty cool bonus. -- Diane".

Home From Brenda Aloff Clinic This Weekend

4/18/2010

0 Comments

 
It was well worth the cost and the trip! I took many pages of notes that I consider to be valuable information. I may post a recap of those notes at a later date.

I was introduced to Brenda Aloff when she conducted some mini-clinics at Equine/Canine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio last weekend. Brenda is a highly experienced canine behaviorist whose hour-long presentations at Equine Affaire impressed me so much that I searched the web for where she'd be speaking next. 'Next' happened to be this weekend in Michigan. I emailed the clinic host and was happy to learn that my application would be accepted at such a late date.

You can see something about Brenda on her website Get Connected  though the site is not as informative and dynamic as she and her books and DVDs are.

Brenda Aloff is one of those trainers who truly has the dog's best interests at heart - and she is a quick study in reading dogs and knowing what those best interests are. I highly recommend her seminars!

Olive's First Agility Trial With John Willmore, Diane Webb

4/18/2010

0 Comments

 
Dog Agility Club of Ventura 
Held in Walnut, California  (outdoors on grass)

JWW judge Larry Brockett Score 95, Time 39.31 (SCT 44), First place
STD judge Terry Cullen Score 98, Time 72.92 (SCT 70), First place
"Hi Patt, 

You got the reader's digest version on the phone from the trial, so here is the longer version of Olive's first agility trial. 

After getting measured for her height card, Olive's first course was Novice Jumpers with Weaves.  The course was fairly straight forward, starting with two pinwheels in an S, a C shaped tunnel, and then a jump into the weaves.  The weave entrance angle was tough - the sort that Remy would miss well into his excellent career.  Then another S of jumps out to the finish. 

Olive looked great through the first pinwheel but followed me past jump 4 (I was setting up for a front cross on the landing side).  I had to take her back to the front side, and from there I made sure I stuck with every jump until she committed.  That R was her only fault for the rest of the course.  She was fast (39.31 seconds, under the 44 second SCT), even with the correction for the missed jump.  She nailed the weaves, and ran a pretty nice line thoughout. 

There was a wait of about 50 minutes for the Standard course.  I figure that Olive will learn how to rest between runs eventually - today she was too excited. 

The standard run was beautiful through the first half - tire, chute, jump, broad jump, A-frame, tunnel, dog walk, jump - was flawless.  I was impressed because we haven't practiced tire, chute, or broad jump much.  On the table she was quick into a sit, but I discovered that she'll start to offer a down.  I had to get her back into a sit twice.  I'll be practicing that this week! 

Then the only real glitch of the day happened.  From the table we were to head to the weaves, but on the way Olive spotted Diane and Asti in the corner where Diane was filming.  We lost at least 11 seconds getting Olive back to the start of the weaves, and then she didn't have the rhythm she showed on the Jumpers course.  But with a bit of work we finished the weaves, went on her way to the teeter - Olive Here! that's not next! - double, teeter, jump, and panel to finish. Even with the huge detour at the weaves, Olive was only two seconds over course time.

We're looking forward to running again next weekend... and we'll make sure that we learn from our mistakes today.  

Thanks for a great agility partner,  

John"
