She was mentally drained but now is really confident for the WT tryouts this year. I have a feeling next week in class we'll be doing a course from the Nats.

Zippity is a young dog so she has a lot left in her. She was in the Purina 60 pole challenge when she was barely 1 year old. Her and her daddy, Mayhem (RIP), sure weave a lot a like! Although Mayhem is the reason why they stake weave poles bases because he'll pull them out when he runs through them!

Very nice runs on some incredibly challenging courses!!! Thanks for sharing! You are lucky to be able to work regularly with someone so talented. We just don't have trainers of this caliber in my area.

Yes, I and other students are humbled. She has been in agility for a long time. Her knowledge is impressive. She is one of Linda's long time students. She originally came from the GD system. If she sees you put forth the effort doing your homework, she'll push you to a higher level and change the criteria to make you even better. She is a real good instructor and lots of people from out of state come to her for privates or group/class sessions. She is known for technical (her forte) and tactics handling so we do a lot of tight stuff either euro, AKC, USDAA, or other stuff.

I am just happy she put the judging on the backburner for now while she does the WT stuff because it was ruining training time for the dogs.

When did them in class and she wanted to explain 'choices' for certain areas.
