What we’ve been up to
Comments(71) Summer is always such a busy time for us. Here’s a short video showing some of our recent exploits. Kess is learning the weave poles for agility and can now weave through 4 poles, and will hopefully be up to twelve poles within the next few months. She’s also been learning to work with me and stay focused on what the human half of the team is up to. Kess has a tendency to just make her own way through the agility course.
On top of agility Kess has been competing and performing regularly in disc. We’re still keeping things fairly low key as I don’t want to backslide in Kess’s conditioning. She’s up to 30 min of work/training per day and I think we’ve found a great balance of enough activity to wear her out without causing fatigue. We had a great time at our first performance and Kess was a real crowd favorite. Several people made a point of coming up to say hi after the show, and if you want a lot of free product just walk through a dog festival with a tripawd, we just about needed a wheelbarrow to get all the treats and eats home 🙂
Kess, you made me dizzy with all that running around! What a talented girl! You need to come to California and teach my lazy dogs how to do that stuff!!
Really enjoyed this video! Kess is quite the BC! I am looking forward to competing again with Racquette in NADAC agility. Tripawds are allowed to compete in hoopers and tunnelers. Since she ha been competing in that venue for 11 years….it is nice to be able to continue after this minor adjustment to her life!
continue to have fun with Kess! Looks like that won’t be a problem!
Thanks Wendy. I was told they could do weavers in NADAC as well. Kess is just now up to six poles woohoo. Hopefully we’ll have some time for agility in the winter.
