Golden valley show

We had another show last weekend, this time it was at top barn farm near Worcester. Beryl picked us up on Friday lunchtime but we had to go to the garage on the way to get the brakes fixed. Then we stopped at Halfway for a walk in the forest like we always used to.
In the morning I was so excited I couldn't concentrate at all. We had a run in the first class and it was a disaster! I jumped off the top of the dog walk and ended up in the next ring with a collie who ran away from me. She Who Thinks She Must Be Obeyed was really cross with me and dragged me out of the ring and shut me in the car while she went off to cool off. If we had been on our own we would have gone straight home but we did our other two runs later and didn't do too bad.

O

TRAINING!

As we really are going to my barkday show, She who thinks she must be obeyed thought we ought to do some training.

Here I am doing the 'wait to go through the gate' that I had to do for my bronze Good Citizen certificate way back when I was a little puppydog.

And here I am sitting at the kerb waiting to cross the road to the green were we do our training.

But first of all we had a' throwabout' to get rid of some of my energy. (I get VERY excited when I see my jumps and She who thinks I must be obeyed says I run round like a headless chicken!!!!!!

Then I had to wait while She who thinks she must be obeyed set the course up. This is what it looked like. And yes that U.F.O. is back I wonder what the aliens think of my course?

I'm very good, waiting to be told to go over the jump. You won't catch me behaving like this at the show, it's way too exciting!

Here I go!

This video is an example of why you should never try to do more than one thing at once. She who thinks she must be obeyed was too busy TRYING to film me as she ran round to tell me what to do properly!

After all that exertion it was time for a down stay.

And then a sit stay.

Followed by a recall.
