Games were entertaining … We started with the snakes course – up and down and round and round … dogs were happy and Sally got her aframe
Next was a round the clock game which I adapted from Clean Run’s Book of Games …
two tables were out and there were obstacles all around the place … you got points (gamblers type points) but if you faulted you lost ALL your points .. to bank the points you had to hit the table … then the points accumulated were safe … it was very very fun to develop strategies and then run … gave me a good chance to work offside weaves with Sally too (weave, table (as you couldn’t go back to back obstacles) weave, repeat three times then go do something else)then we ran a human jumpers with partners handling each other around the course- INTERESTING experience …being the dog was quite amazing ..you run flat out with little idea where you are going …
next up tunnel snookers … ( the tunnel is the “red” and worth two points – if you fault in opening you can do closing anyhow) lots of fun – both dogs ran perfect paths š I really should do 4 reds with Sally in aac it works just fine – she finishes the courses with plenty of time in the few times Ive been able to try it
Last was a variation of mat gamblers … the gamble mats were laid out already so you jumped on the mat did whatever you could then carried on – on a basic standard course
I was busy enough judging that I didn’t pay much attention to the points but I think Sally and Brody both had moments of glory (only fitting for National qualifiers!)
It was a late night and lots of work but lots of fun too!
