Aiden at the PVKC Agility Trial

As we mentioned in our previous post, after a two day mini vacation, we went to the Pioneer Valley Kennel Club Agility trial in Greenfield, MA.

Yesterday (Saturday) morning  it was very foggy but later it turned into a beautiful day.

For this trial, as we do in most outdoor trials, we worked directly out of our car which we used as our base camp

Aiden earned 72 points, got the send bonus and placed 1st in Excellent FAST for his XF Title.

 He placed 1st in Time to Beat earning 10 points and his 4th leg.

He was also entered in Ex Standard and Open Jumpers with Weaves. Although he had good runs in both he did not qualify in either.
After the trial we took Aiden for a walk to the Rocky Mt. Park. At the top of the mountain we came across Poet’s Seat Tower. There were great views of Greenfield from the park.



Today (Sunday) we were back at the PVKC Agility Trial. It was gray and overcast all day.

For his first time in Masters FAST Aiden earned 73 points, got the send bonus and placed 2nd.

In Time to Beat Aiden qualified and was the second fastest dog earning 8 points for his 5th leg.

In Excellent Standard Agility Aiden knocked the panel jump and the broad jump but I am very pleased with the progress he is making working at a distance from me.

In Open JWW Aiden went by a jump. When I called him back he was too close and knocked the bar so unfortunately he did not qualify.
