First USDAA Title at MAC agility Trial

On June 1st, Abby and Mellie were entered in an assortment of games and regular agility courses in Minnesota Agility Club’s USDAA agility trial at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Lake Elmo. It was a scorcher of a day, and the dogs showed their less than enthusiastic attitudes on the course. Mellie did manage to get her final qualifying leg in Starters Standard to earn her SSA title. She also had a nice Starters Jumpers run and got her second leg toward that title. Unfortunately, not much luck in Snooker or Gamblers. Abby’s stress levels have been rising and the outdoor venue did not help her confidence. She did not finish either of her two runs she was entered in. We may need to take a break from some trials for awhile. She is still very enthusiastic in the backyard and in practice.
