Hey, thanks so much for the comment! It's a pretty new issue for us as Philip hasn't had much trouble with jumps in class, and we go every week. I guess the problem really showed up at trials because of the jumpers courses - in class we mostly do standard runs, and with fewer jumps there are fewer chances of knocking a bar of course. I do agree that it's most likely an approach issue, but it's definitely not a consistent one - he clears doubles, triples, and broad jumps just fine, but the occasional single goes down. It almost seems like he's simply being a bit sloppy about it - he generally clears jumps very close to the bars, so any small mistake sends the bar down. Hard to train too since it's never a problem with just a single jump - it's the series of one after the other that's been getting him. I really need to make more jumps at home and practice, practice, practice. I'll have to try the angled bar trick too though, and check out that lady you mentioned. Thanks! Another trial in a couple of weeks - we'll see how he does.

p.s.- where did you get Dudley from?

thanks, I can't wait to bring him home! Your Dudley is quite the handsome guy! I've watched his agility videos and he's soooo cute! I've got my Pems working on agility classes now.

Hello there! As is Dudley~! I've been doing the same over the last few days and Mab has really grown a lot! Well as they say a Corgi is "A Big dog in a small dogs body".
Our Ridgeback is a great dog, we love her very much and she gets on very well with Mab our Cardi.

Bonnie and Mab.

Gorgeous Cardigan! Love the Blue merles. He's just such a handsome dog.

Make sure you let me know if you are coming up to Des Moines! Kodi is still a little young/growing for much agility yet, but I am hoping to do some Rally soon.

that camp sounds like sooo much fun! Where is it located?? I'd love to bring my boys! Dock diving sounds like a blast!!

I'm new to the whole breed handling thing too! It's been fun and interesting. I think my biggest challenge at the moment is getting Uno comfortable on the table. He's not too sure about it and it's obvious. Otherwise he's over the top enthusiastic LOL. Way too happy of a dog.
