Golden Retriever dogs at World dog show in July 2008, in Stockholm. Field Trial Class. Judge: Mr. Filip Jonsson.

This is Dazzle in her 4th agility trial (NADAC). This was a VERY fun trial. It was the first one that we actually had to travel to (we live on the west side, it was on the east side of Washington). It was a good 4.5 – 5 hour drive, but a scenic one. We took all three dogs and stayed at a hotel. The trial (NADAC) was put on by the Hoodoo Howlers agility club. It was much smaller than the other trials I have been to, only one ring and about 60 dogs or so. Descriptions of the runs: The first run – tunnelers. Daz loves tunnelers. She was a bit crazy from being in the car all day yesterday, and in a strange place last night, so her turns were WAY wide but still, a Q and a 1st place! Notice that I trip on a tunnel at the end, but we managed to finish the course clean and in good time. Next run, Touch n Go! Dazzle LOVES TnG – but a little to much. She doesn’t have a high Q rate in this class at all. But on this run she was very calm and really listening to my commands. I was proud! Another Q and another 1st place! After that (not in the video) was another touch n go, but she missed the tunnel/dogwalk discrimination (she screwed that up) and got an NQ on that one. I took that chance to train in the ring and fix some contacts – which then improved for the rest of the trial. Then the two regular runs! Simple courses. We did the first one OK, but with a little bobble – but we recovered and finished clean with a 1st place. The second regular she did better, very smooth and clean …
