GRCA STD

This is Canon's STD run.  I can see that the way she does her contacts may have caused her to begin to spin.  Had she held her DW until I could get setup better, she may have been able to release cleanly and go to the jump/table without the spins.  Also, I released her to the wrong side of my body to take the tire.  That was awkward for us both.  She ran really nicely after that.

GRCA News

Canon had a wonderful trial at the National Specialty and had some really pretty runs.  We met lots of great Golden friends and got to visit and get to know many of them.  Canon won the FAST National run and was very close on other runs.  Fun time and learned a lot.

Progress

Canon had a trial this weekend and she did a very nice job with her runs.  I only got a few videos cause my friends were all running in the same class.
She got a cue in DAM Team with some individual Q's as well.  She also got a Q in Pairs, Standard, Snooker.  She finished her Advanced Standard title, and got a Snooker Q, so she got her Advanced Agility Dog title.

I was so proud of her for her contacts.  She faulted her teeter in the gamble in one run, but other than that, she was clean on all contacts.  She did not do the exact criteria, so we will have to continue to improve, but having all contacts clean is such an improvement.  It was so nice to not have to worry about it.

Sit Stay for Canon

Canon struggles with her SLS so much and I have been working on it in our down time.  She is getting stronger and stronger with it and I videoed her staying in the chair while I work with Cade.

This is really good for her.  She does stand up once and she barks while she stays.  We will see if she can do this at a trial.

***Must mention that I sped up the video. Who wants to watch 2 minutes of a sit stay when they can watch it in 1 minute!!!
