Magpie’s best bits from competition on 30 December 2023

Valley Farm - 30 December 2023
Magpie
A brand new venue for Magpie and this caused some of her anxiety to return. She was not as driven as she can be and less confident. However, we had several successful moments including a stunning dogwalk contact into a distant tunnel - just happened she was not meant to do the tunnel!
The seesaw remains our nemesis, but we will take our time and Magpie will find her confidence to perform it in the ring as well as she does in training.

Dog agility is a fast growing sport involving the dog negotiating a series of obstacles. In the Show Diaries series I want to show you the full picture of competing life, the highs, the lows, the oops moments! I share my successes and my failures so you can see the reality of our competition career and not just the perfect runs. All handlers, and all dogs, have off days. With training you hope to minimise the off days, but even so things go wrong.
When I compete, it is not just about placings and wins. It is about taking away lessons for our training plan, learning where I need to improve, testing our skills and of course, having fun. My dogs are always the best dogs, even on their worst runs.

About me! I am a force free dog trainer living in the United Kingdom. I have trained with a variety of dogs and currently own Shelties and working cockers or cocker crosses. I have competed in agility since 2013 and have qualified for various regional and national finals. Due to ill health, I had to transition from being a running agility handler to a distance handler in 2021. Since then I have become passionate about encouraging handlers of all abilities to enjoy this sport with their dogs. My channel is dedicated to sharing my love of dogs and dog training. I believe dog training should be taught in a fun, cooperative manner. Welcome and I hope you enjoy my videos!
