It’s a little embarrassing to post this train wreck but here is our 1st & 2 nd attempt at exercise #1. I had a redo from jump 2. Also only have 1 tunnel. “ Check check” is my soft turn cue.

Never be embarrassed! This was far from a train wreck!

Such an interesting & encouraging analysis! Thank you Jenn & best of luck @ NAC Pip & I are cheering for you!!
This is the first agility sequence Truman and I have done together since I hurt my knee at the Invitationals in December. I still don’t know whether I will ever be able to run properly again so I’ve decided, if I am going to continue to do agility with Tru, I will have to adjust my expectations and lean on him to do even more distance work. This sequence was a lovely one to get us back in working mode. My A-frame was already (by a fortunate accident) perfectly positioned to build this sequence around so I was able to play with the lead-in to the small space. I did review your suggested 3 handling options but given my new reality of not really being able to run, I chose to try what I thought would be our best choice of options. Sending Tru to the weave poles after the A-frame allowed me to retreat to the landing side of jump #1, giving me a tighter turn to the first tunnel. This also left me close to where I needed to be to get the turn over the jump to the second tunnel and left me again close to where I needed to be to do the rear to get the third tunnel. The challenges were also well suited to a distance style. I thought it all went pretty well and Truman seemed thrilled to be back to work.
Good luck in Tulsa. We’ll be rooting for you!
This is great agility and even more impressive that you’ve had a 2.5 month break. I agree this was a perfect set to get back into things. I love your attitude to get back at it and let Truman carry some of the extra weight. You’ve got this! You two are an awesome team!

I finally got a chance to do the Challenge. Not having a start line this was tough. First time going to the right side I got the off course tunnel.
First time going to the left side I got I believe the off course jump. I think I edited that one out. https://youtu.be/e7cLoNYuS4g
No SLS? No problem! You solved that nicely!

Thanks! I was actually thinking because I didn’t tell him anything and I kind of do a sling shot that that opened up the tunnel and that’s why I left it in the video.
I was also afraid of opening up the off course on the second back side so glad I didn’t but also glad as odd as it is that I wasn’t thinking that inappropriately. Again glad he stayed with me and didn’t do go though 🙂
I am paused, unfortunately, after filming the 1st version of small space #1. I did that in a one day break between snowstorms when enough snow had melted to be able to set a course. Since then it’s been snow, snow, snow! 🙁 Sigh.
Yikes!!! Here’s to hoping the weather turns soon!
You’ll have plenty of time to get feedback though!
Reposting my comment from 1/31/25. I think it was maybe missed. Thanks.
The rear cross on the tunnel would be my last choice on this option so I guess I’d have to trust my weaves a bit – you’ll see why haha. This was good practice though and showed gaps in our training. Francois is my most seasoned dog and Marcel my least.
I am also 25 weeks pregnant in this video and unsure if I’ll be able to actually run them in Tulsa at 31 weeks. I have a friend who will run them if I can’t – from your experience does AKC care about handler changes? I think you’ve run other people’s dogs at NAC and premier cup.
Thanks!
Francois

Yes, we had some trouble with your links into OnForm. All resolve and feedback posted to your original post. Thank you for following up!
Here are videos of Sprint and Blitzen. Thanks so much for reviewing them!

Good work with both dogs! A lot of the feedback is the same for both dogs. At least you are consistent! 😉

Thanks for all the great feedback! I will definitely work on those verbals. I realized I haven’t been using left or right at all on convergence as in jump 4 so thanks for the clarification. Also, I will definitely make motion the priority rather than sending. Thanks for mentioning Blitzen’s gait too. She has had X-rays and checks by multiple veterinarians who have all cleared her for agility.
I really appreciate all your great feedback!
Hi! Here is my first stab at the exercises in Set 1, together with the challenge exercises. I did include two goes at the end of the video, which is most likely how I would actually handle the course with this particular dog. TIA for your review. https://youtu.be/639PuUlAfoM
Nice work!! I love that you are able to set the whole course up.

I should explain, my field is outdoors, so I scheduled time at an indoor arena. (Crazy weather in Kansas)
With set up and tear down, I only had time for one option plus the challenge.
