My weekends this year are full of K9 events. On the first weekend of June I attended the seminar of Nikita Xever. Theoretical work with video clips has been mixed to practical exercises of Nikita and his wife Olga with the dog Aya. We also had some time for practice with our own dogs. I must say that I really like this method, which uses the dogs will to work and it is not based on the commands from the handler. Now I know a little bit more about it and I must say, that a lot of my question-marks vanished.  We are constantly learning new skills.

Unfortunately there are no photographs – I forgot to take some.

Kaya made it again! On the last competition she performed really great – it was her best performance ever – in RO competition. We made it to the 7th place and achieved 132 points.

I was disqualified with Ajk. Despite disqualification, I was really satisfied with his work. Not so good work at the start  finished in really great cooperative work. Unfortunately we were to slow and we exceeded the allowed 3 minutes.

PHOTOS!

Kaya - waiting to go

This weekend we had to do some K9 work again. Ajk, Kaya, me and my partner went together on the 2nd national RO competition. My wishes for the cloudy weather didn’t come through. So, we had a beautiful sunny day a little bit hot for an English bulldog and a veteran boxer.

I started today K9 work with Kaya. We were the last competitor team in the RO I class. Despite high temperatures and my skepticism, my girl surprised me with much better work than last time. She was still far away from the work on the trainings, but we achieved a great 8th place  .

Let's go!

We didn’t have so beautiful race with Ajk this time. It was my fault, since I wasn’t careful on his will to work. Because of this fact I was loosing his attention more and more during the race. Therefore he did some bad jumps & slalom. The result: unqualified. I was angry on myself, but I felt a little bit better when performing on the same course again unofficially with much better work.

Some PHOTOS (unfortunately not of very good quality).
