Wow, sounds pretty challenging being so far from everything – you’ll enjoy the Skyline trial – it should be quite small and we have a nice indoor facility. If it hasn’t filled (and as of a week ago they still had runs available), I may enter Raven just in Nov FAST – she only needs one more for her title. I’m holding off on her in standard until the rule about the 6′ chute goes into effect (January.)

Good luck at the trial and (maybe) I’ll see you and Bella there :)!

I am a “newbie” to Agility and live in Central/Western Maine. I have a currently 15 month old Eng springer Spaniel and we’ve been in Agility training for 8 months now. I am interested in AKC and CPE agility trialling…I have just mailed out our entry for our very first trial, and that will be the Skyline “Novice Only” trial Dec 4-5th. I felt that with this being for Novice only, it may help to ease some of the anxiety I will no doubt feel because this will be our first trial. Will you be at this trial?

Unfortunately, because of the rather remote area of Maine that I live in, as well as there only being the one AKC agility trial even in Maine…I have not met anyone else that trials with AKC. And again because of my remote location, I travel every other week for private lessons…of which are a 2 hour drive each way. So most of our practice is here at home, luckily I have a lot of space, time and all the equipment. Here is a link to my youtube where I post an occasional video of our practice for our instructor to review & critique http://www.youtube.com/user/bonannye

Again, nice blog…can tell that you really love your dogs and enjoy the time you spend together in agility!!

Nancy & Bella
