Mom says I stick out my tongue when I jump. Really? Am I cute? Hee.





My hooman begging me to jump. Haha!




Yuki corgi's 2nd attempt at SKC Jumpers (Mini Novice)
No Q (qualify) but she did at least half the course which made me very very happy. I have noticed for the 1st time that she's actually very stressed and unsure in such an environment. And I kinda suspect she runs off to relieve the stress she feels. Not sure why I havent noticed it before. It doesnt happen much during trainings though she's always had a recall issue. Here, I had to shout quite loudly for her to hear me. See the speed at which she enters the tunnel and comes out of it? Well, that's her normal speed during training. The unsure and hesitation at the jumps is not what she does usually. I guess we got loads more to do but this trials was a marked improvement.




Yuki corgi's 2nd attempt at SKC Agility (Mini Novice)
I am darn proud of this lil' corgi cuz she did exactly what she's taught to do though we didn't complete the circuit. She did those weavepoles so happily at my voice-cue though she had a bit of problem finding the entry initially. She went gingerly on the dogwalk which was realli Yuki-style, using her paws to touch and test if it was stable. As she walked on it, I told her "You're realli a farnie dog, haha!" And at the obstacle Table, she went flat down straight. But when the judge gave an "OK" or "Go" instruction after the 5 sec wait, in his loud booming voice, yuki was done for the day. She got scared and started to wonder if she shd listen to me or the tall man. Duh. But I so love that dog.




Ninja's 1st attempt at SKC Jumpers (Maxi Novice)
This dog is FARNIE. He poops at least 3 times before his trials in the morning and he still does it in the ring. We supposed it was a nervous poop and I thot he did a great job following me in the ring, all da way till obstacle 7. It's only his 1st trials and Im glad he didnt wander off or dismantle any obstacles along the way. Surprisingly, he seemed to have cleared his jumps with quite a fair bit of cleareance.
