    We're moving up BRAG!

    First trial: zoomies, stress/shutdown. On top of that, it rained on our first trial. It was just a nasty weekend. Second trail: 3 of the 4 runs Qs and first places. Still some stress but no zoomies. She is at half speed. Third trial (this weekend): 3 of 4 run, Qs and first places. The crowd was 'thinner' due to the weather and she noticed her environment more. She is stressed more. Now I'll admit once I see her falter, it does take the wind out of my sail but I stay in there and get her focused and get her to finish the course. We're moving up to Open and probably going to stay for a bit until she gets the confidence back up to par. Our goal is to get the stress out of her. She thinks way too much. I'll probably debut the male early next year.

    Good progress! Looking forward to more reports on how she's doing.

    Will do.

    we have another trial on Dec 5-7

    Its way too late to get in on the IX dog show which I think would really put her over her limit.
