The same weekend Lyric earned her NA Whisper earned 3 QQs and more class placements. When I started agility with Whisper my goal was to try to earn a MACH. Along the way agility has become so fun that we are now working on our MACH2. In the last 6 trials we have managed to earn 5 QQs and numerous points. It now is a game to see if we can beat our previous best times and to try more distance handling. Generally the two go hand in hand. We are getting faster but I find I handle more cautiously in a trial, especially if a QQ is possible, than in class. I need to learn to let go and let her fly. Agility is a learning game for the handler as well as the dog.
She seems to have more and more fun running agility as both she and I gain confidence and experience running together.

Very nice. I enjoyed the videos!
It's such a joy to watch the teamwork with you two. AND so wonderful to see Whisper wagging her tail (really shows on the table), indicating she's really enjoying herself.

Lovely to watch:) Whisper is so happy. Her weaves are great. Those courses seemed pretty tight to me (I know nothing though!) and she handled those quick turns so well. I giggled at the way she bounced out of the closed tunnel on the last video:)
