Default Zipper's first MACH points (and video links)

We had a really fun 4-day AKC trial just East of St. Louis this past
weekend. Zipper is really starting to put things together. In Standard,
we're still having a bobble here and there, but he nailed 3 out of 4
Jumpers with Weaves runs for his first 3 MXJ legs and his first MACH
points. He still needs two legs for his AX, and I'll be happy when that
happens and we can start working toward Double Qs.

I have a few things to work on, namely calling him into me and (yet
still) front crosses, especially landing side front crosses. Twice he
slid around the jump when I tried one. He and I both tend to like me
handling from the rear, but I noticed a couple of spots where I was
slowing up to let him get in front, which of course meant he slowed down
too.

On Thursday's Standard course I told myself NOT to call him from the
tunnel to the table since I've never trained it. Did it anyway. Idiot.

Jumpers was good even with slow weaves.

Friday Standard, he finally, on the second try, really sped up his
weaves and started slaloming. If I could get that on a first try...

Saturday Standard was by far his worst and most stressy run. Dodging out
at the aframe is one of his signs, but there was also just something on
that side of the ring he wanted to get at, hence the dodge to the right
after that first jump in the 270. But he nailed that very difficult
opening sequence, which was a Q-killer. I have no idea what the teeter
thing was about, he never does that.
