100 - MXJ Leg #2 – 3 points
Puppy sit at start line. So-so speed at the start. Good wrap weave entry but then slow weaves. Decent speed on the two straightaways. Good wrap at near the finish. Solid run.

NQ – Ran/Walked by weaves
I was worried about early call-off of the aframe but she handled that fine. I purposefully got ahead of her on the aframe as that had been working well at home training to avoid pause at top but it didn’t help in the show, she paused big-time. Felt and looked like a decision not to try weave entry until last second she did sort of try. It was not a nice dogwalk entry unless you helped a lot as handler, which I did. Finished fine.

NQ – Dropped bar late in class
Pretty good speed off start considering I used a lead out. Solid run. On the dropped bar, I called her name over the bar as I was worried she was going to want to “run for home”. Over-analyzing handler.

NQ – Ran by obstacles on finishing stretch (heading for home)
Not a great dog walk entry but she managed it fine. I thought I helped it more than I did. She came out of the tunnel in a different speed, clearly thinking of “heading from home”. Ran through a-frame and did, indeed, head for home. I got her back on course and we managed most of the end but she still wanted to get her treats.

Good speed off start, she like me running with her. Got great lateral distance to setup second front cross. Second half of weaves was picking up speed. Everything else was very good speed.

NQ – Awful fall off the top of the a-frame
Shasta paused again at top of aframe, this time turned to look toward me and in doing so, her rear left leg missed staying on the aframe and she fell. It was one of the worst falls I’ve dealt with in our years in agility. Terrifying to see and experience although, for some reason, maybe shock, I wasn’t panicked at the time. I picked her up for a few seconds, set her down carefully to see if she could walk it off and she did, including taking a jump on the way out. Fortunately, by some minor miracle, she seems fine after the fall.

Her first run following the fall from the aframe. It was great to see her run without any issues. Last three poles of weaves had better speed, maybe there are some signs of them getting better. I did the front cross on the jump after weaves and had NO IDEA what the next couple of jumps were. That doesn’t happen to often to me. Fortunately I guessed correctly although the crosses weren’t very efficient because I was looking at obstacles, not her. She really picked up speed after that and I still managed a blind front cross in a box of jumps. Finished with a turn on the flat after a call-off of a jump.

NQ – Drop bar on double. Missed teeter as she “headed for home”.
I was very scared to do the a-frame after the prior day fall. It was the focus of my run. She did it fine! Whew!! Even managed to enter weaves from the a-frame. We had another not-great entry to the dogwalk and she did approach it with good speed and managed it fine. Lots of dogs we taking wrong course jump after the double and I over-did the cue there, dropping the bar. Again, look at her “butt-run” coming out of the chute, she was not still in working mode, she wanted to head for her treats. Judge decided she had put four-paws on teeter in trying to get her back for it, I couldn’t send her to it again, which made the ending messy. I did get her back into the course before sending her to the finish.
