More agility wins at TCOTC trial
On May 11, Mellie and Abby competed at the agility trial at Twin City Obedience Training Club. Since this is where they train, they had home court advantage and they capitalized on that. Mellie had two great runs, earning a second place finish in the Ex. B Jumpers run (with 9 seconds under course time) and a first place finish in the Ex. B Standard run (11 seconds under course time), thus adding another Double Q to her growing total. She also managed 35 MACH points for the day. Not bad at all.
Abby, not to be outdone, absolutely excelled in her Jumpers run, she was debuting in the Exc. A. class at this trial. She was 15 seconds under course time, a phenomenal 4.95 yards per second speed. She took first place and her owner’s unending pride. She would have beat many dogs much larger in size and stride. Unfortunately, she continued to have some issues with refusing the teeter and hesitant with the dog walk, so no qualifying leg yet in Open Standard. All in all, a great day at the agility venue!
