Competition
Ribe 2012
Five hours on the road, nine hours at the competition, tree dogs, four runs each none of them clean. Just a quick sum up of our Sunday.
Giving up on a fifteen year old dream?
Every year at this time, world championship time, I am reminded that ever since I started running agility it has been a dream of mine to earn a spot on the national team and compete at WC.
Dania Cup & BCC 2011
In the past two weeks we have participated in two big international events. First Dania Cup and this weekend Border Collie Classic.
DKK Viby
Just a small update from our brief appearance at the DKK Viby Show on Friday aka 'crash-into-obstacles'-day as I managed to run into a jump, crashed the tunnel exit and almost run into the A frame!
WAO Belgium 2012?
A couple of months ago I wrote to the Agility committee at the Danish kennel club regarding Crufts and World Agility Open. I was puzzled as to why there weren't any Danish participants at these events, but I never received an answer.
Show at Slagelse Hundesport
We participated in a class 1/2 show yesterday. Zap ran his first clean run and earned a leg in Jumpers 1. He also won the class!
Results from Albertslund
Strange. According to the uploaded results from last weekend Zap ran clean in A1 and got 2nd place.
Show in Hilleroed
It has been some really long days in Hilleroed this past weekend. I had a hard time concentration on my runs and my mental game wasn't nearly as good as last weekend.
Positivity in Agility
As I was pretty busy all weekend I didn't have much time to watch agility, but occasionally I saw a run or two while waiting for a course walk or so. One thing that puzzles me though is why people pay so much money for the entry fee only to be mad at their dog if something doesn't go according to the plan.
The Mental Part of The Agility
Doing well in agility competitions is greatly affected by our mental management and what we say, think and do. Not many realize how sport psychology can improve your agility performance. I know first hand how big a part mental management plays in the game of agility.
