My stomach was in knots knowing we just weren’t quite ready, but new we had to get our feet wet at some point soon. So, Thanksgiving weekend we entered jumpers, touch and go, hoopers and tunnelers in the NADAC competition. (www.nadac.com) We had a blast and learned so much about agility. How to run…and how NOT to run!!  Mylee did wonderful and didn’t have any “zoomies”. (the term used for when they go running around like a spaz and not paying any attention to you!) We had qualifying times and clean runs in both jumpers and tunnelers. The icing on the cake was that she is soooo fast that we took 1st place in both events. As for touch and go and hoopers…hmmmm. Well, let’s say that we will have another shot at those at the end of December. If you are in the Phoenix area, come out to a trial and check it out. So much fun to run with your dogs and a great activity to get you in shape as well! Even little kids run with the dogs. All of the family can get involved. Shoot me an email if you’d like more information!
