Now Rocky MAD
My agility group puts on a mini trial on the last Tuesday
evening of every month. http://www.trainingtroop.rocky-dog.com/ Tonight it was Steeplechase, Masters Team Relay, and Masters Standard. Friday did great on the Steeplechase, popped a pole in the Team Relay (his partner ran clean), and took a very fast Q in the Standard. Rocky had an off-course in Steeplechase, ran clean in Team Relay (his partner had a refusal, though), and ran 17 seconds under time for his last Masters Standard leg (I *really* babysat him through the contacts and the timer told me that I added at least 10 seconds doing this - but Rocky's a fast dog, not Friday-fast, but fast enough to make up lots of time). Anyway, 8 year old Rocky finally has his MAD. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Now Rocky MAD
I'm grateful for being able to take him cross-country to the
Canadian agility nationals in 2002 and I'm happy to be having fun with a dog who is having fun. Hi ya' Matt. I often think about you and Rocky, since I "knew" you 5+ years ago, and I now have an agility friend who has a Dal with epilepsy. They have lots of challenges, but having fun isn't one of them. They also are doing what they love (even if it isn't always what the judge thinks they should be doing ;-) Anyway, I'm thrilled for you both, too. Congrats to Rocky on his MAD!!! Shammie got her AXJ last week-end - not quite in the same category as a MAD, but I'm proud of my old girl, too! And not to hi-jack Rocky's thread, but do I understand correctly that Friday is one of those ballistically fast agility dogs? I am struggling with handling Gris-Gris - she's faster than blue blazes, and also pretty durn responsive, but that's only if I can think and act fast enough to tell her where she's going before she's already gotten there. Shammie is average speed and so I have time to *think* while we run, but runs with Gris-Gris are often such a blur that I need to watch the tape to see what I *should* have done... Any advice on developing the mental quickness it takes to handle dogs like these?? I've been thinking that it's as though I need something like an agility video game to develop faster reaction time... kinda like the game where you try to click the bouncing ball or the changing background color (both of which I've lost, if anyone still has links to either.) I've never had a use for gaming before, but I'm wondering if I might want to make an exception during the dog days of summer this year. Suggestions for games that demand quick reactions appreciated. And/or any other tips or advice as well (or even just commiserations, as Gris-Gris's by FAR the more talented dog, but her Q's are few and far between, no fault of her own!!)

I know for a while it was looking, well, rocky, and that you must cherish every run regardless if it ends up in a Q, a placement or a title. Christy |
