All Ears Agility: Trial Time: 03/04-06/2011 - NADAC Trial

This morning Olivia and I left the house half an hour later than planned. As we were driving to the trial arena, Olivia was worrying that we would miss Brego's first run, while Brego snoozed away in my lap. When we arrived at the trial, Olivia jumped out of the car to check her runs, and I took Brego to the grass to tinkle and started unloading the car. It turned out that we had made it in time for the judges' briefing, just before Olivia had to walk the Tunnelers course. Brego and I finished unloading the car and setting up our crate space while Olivia walked the course. We also collected Brego's 1st & Q in Open Touch 'N Go from last night!

The two rings were running opposite for the first two games: Tunnelers in ring 1 running Novice to Elite; and Weavers in ring 2 running Elite to Novice. This seems like it would be a good system, but Brego runs Elite Tunnelers and Novice Weavers. After Olivia walked the Tunnelers course, she had to go back and forth between the two rings to make sure she didn't miss the Weavers walk through or have a conflict with ring 1. I set up the video cameras at the Tunnelers ring, but ended up moving them to film Weavers first. Luckily, the Novice Tunnelers class was huge, so Brego didn't end up having a conflict.

Elite Tunnelers was the only run the entire trial where there were NO mistakes.
