On Sunday Tessa and I caught up to Maddie in our CPE Agility progression.
The farthest that Maddie and I got was one Level 5 Colors Q. On Sunday Tessa and I earned our first Level 5 Q, also in Colors!
I am super proud of my girl!
I have always regretted that Maddie and I didn't have time to earn our C-ATCH title together. Granted, hers would have been a CT-ATCH, but that's neither here nor there.
Now I understand why Maddie and I didn't do it. This is for Tessa. This is going to be something big and special that Tessa and I do together.
Maddie will always be a part of that. I would not be the handler that I am right now if not for Maddie. I wouldn't even have loved the sport of Agility if not for Maddie. And I would not have been prepared to train Tessa as quickly and as well as I was able to if I hadn't had to work as hard as I did to learn how to train Maddie.
But this honor rightly belongs to Tessa. My beautiful and fun girl who absolutely adores this game.
Just for fun, though, a look back at Maddie's one and only Level 5 Q:
And . . . the lovely Miss Tessa, as we officially reach the Level where Maddie and I, most unfortunately, had to leave off.
I am very proud of my girl. She has come so far and amazing doesn't even describe what this has been!
I will be honored to earn a C-ATCH title with Tessa.
Granted, we have a ways to go! 3 more Level 3 Q's, 26 more Level 4 Q's, and 39 more Level 5 Q's! And 19 of those are going to have to be Standard!!
But I am eager to take the rest of this ride with Tessa. She truly is my perfect Agility partner.

Odd Morning
Tessa woke me up this morning, acting like there was thunder in the area. She jumped up on the bed, was wiggling up against me, and was shaking.
To my knowledge there was no thunder, and Dean, the world's biggest thunder-phobe, appeared to be perfectly fine, so I got up and let them out for a few minutes. It was about 4:00 AM.
I went back to bed, but she was no better. I was about to get up and check the weather radar to see if there were storms it the area when I heard this "chirp" sound. Right away, Tessa shivered harder, so I knew that was the culprit.
But I had no idea what the heck it was.
Finally I got up and walked out into the kitchen, and heard the "chirp" again. I figured out that it was one of our fire alarms. We have two, both built into the wall, and on one of them, the green light was flashing, which doesn't normally happen. It chirped again, and I figured the unit was trying to tell me it was out of whack. I hit the "reset" button and it went back to solid green, and all was well.
I'm not sure why it went berserk. There was no fire or anything - the other one was fine. I hope this isn't going to start to be an issue because it freaked Tessa out majorly!
After a while she figured out that the sound "chirp" had stopped and she went back to sleep.
Very strange morning . . .

Sammie
I haven't blogged in several weeks because we have had quite a difficult time this month.
Several weeks ago Sammie, who had been doing a good deal better since the weather had started to get warmer, became suddenly ill.
I don't even have the heart to describe how it all went down right now, but maybe someday I will.
On Wednesday, April 9th I made the decision to let him go. He was 14 and 1/2 years old - going on 15 in August.
I've had a very rough time with this one. In some ways it has been more difficult than losing Speedy. That is odd because Speedy and I were much, much closer, but in a lot of ways it makes sense, too. Sammie was our first dog and he was with us the longest. And Sammie was the last of our original crew - Sammie, Speedy, and Maddie Lynn. In a way, losing him really means they are all gone now. And losing him so soon after Speedy made it much, much more difficult.
I can't say he died too young - he really had lived out his life. But I'm still very upset by the whole thing.
Yesterday was Easter and I found that I just couldn't help thinking about this past Christmas. I really went all out to make it a nice Christmas for the dogs this last time. I got them presents to open and it was all just very nice. I did it up extra special for them because I knew Sammie and Speedy were getting older and I didn't know how many more Christmas's they would have left. I had no idea they would both be gone by Easter.
Within just 4 months we lost half of our dogs.
I just kept wishing that everything could be the way it was before this horrible, horrible winter.
So, it was a sad Easter, in spite of being an absolutely gorgeous day. I did take Tessa and Dean out to King's Gap and we had a really nice hike together. They both got a little ham at dinner time.
Life moves on and I am excited over the news of my coming-soon-puppy.
But I'm missing my black and white boys something awful.

The Quest for the Amazing Heeling Tessa!!
Sometimes goals are deliberate. I know what I want, I make a plan to train it, I work with my dog, and we eventually master the skill.
But sometimes goals just kind of happen! I am not really thinking that I want to do anything in particular and then suddenly I realize that I am working toward something and I want to continue and actually make it a goal.
That has happened with Tessa's heeling.
Tessa has never been a fantastic heeling dog. She started out with so much aversion to coming in close to me that I pretty much decided from the get-go that heeling would never be a very strong skill of hers.
That was a good decision at the time. Knowing her, I honestly do believe that if I had pressed the issue early on, I could have easily poisoned the behavior and sapped any desire to actually try right out of her.
So, at first I accepted her heeling flaws. She lagged horribly. She was tentative. Heeling was just something that we had to do sometimes. It was definitely not something that I would have thought about showcasing. We focused more on tricks and other behaviors and I accepted mediocre movement in heel and side position.
This is changing. Tessa is actually starting to become a very nice heeler. She is starting to develop power, style, and clear desire, even just a little precision!
Even though I actually did not work through a whole lot of it, the Precision Heeling class that we took at the bronze level during the last session of Fenzi Academy classes did help. Tessa's comfort level in position is definitely growing. Her understanding of where she is supposed to be is starting to develop. And when she drives up into correct position and moves there for any duration, she is really, really pretty!! And pretty will always win me over!
This session we are taking an IPO heeling class! +R based, of course! It might seem completely strange to have a sheepdog work IPO style heeling, but I believe that study of this particular style of heeling will benefit our Freestyle and HTM heelwork. The IPO style features power, precision, turns and pace changes, and - most of all - duration. This is one area where studying Obedience heeling has fallen short for us - for musical dog sports we need duration. And not just duration, but power, precision, and style over a considerable duration.
I am doing this at bronze level, so we will see how it goes. But I've been watching some of the gold level videos and I am really excited to jump in and try some of what I see with her.
So, Tessa and I have a new goal now - the Quest for the Amazing Heeling Tessa. I realize now that she can be quite good at heelwork. And it is clear that she is ready for this! and I'm ready! So we shall run with it!

Give and Take
Performance with dogs is very much a give and take. There are times when we handlers rightfully ask for high level criteria, precision, and top focus from a well trained dog under challenging competition conditions. There are also times when the right call is to accept the best that the dog has to give, even when the dog's performance does not exactly meet the highest criteria, is not particularly precise, or when focus is "off" at best. How do we know which standard is appropriate at any give time? It really is part of the art of training and handling to correctly discern that in any given circumstance. Being able to make that kind of judgment call comes from knowing the individual dog, balancing the dog's training, talents, and ability with his or her challenges and limitations, from having a decent amount of competition experience, and . . . sometimes . . . you just know!
One part of Tessa's Rally run this past weekend really illustrated this. The only stationary exercises on the entire course, other than the bonus, were one set of three exercises married together. There was a call front-finish left, left pivot, and a halt-stand.
This started off well for us. Tessa did a lovely call front-sit, and then a beautiful finish left-sit. I was so happy that she actually sat instead of standing there waggling her tail as if to say, "I know I don't really have to sit here!" as she often does in Cyber Rally-O where she is absolutely correct - she does not have to sit! I gave her a treat and when I did, she stood. That was perfectly OK, but it threw me off.
All I had to do there was take a step forward, have Tessa sit again, and do the pivot. The signs are married, but may be performed separately. I drew a blank! I almost went on without asking for that sit again, but remember that I needed to, backed up and retired it. That was OK. We lost a few points for the retry, but it was all legitimate.
Immediately after that, Tessa made a blip! In spite of her being the Princess of the Pivot, when I asked for the right pivot, she started to come front! She did swing around into heel, but never did actually pivot!! That was OK. We actually didn't lose points off of the exercise. But she could have done better.
Well, I could have done better, too!
Give and take. We both blundered a bit. No harm done - we managed to successfully complete everything and earned a good score.
But the whole thing really made the fact that handling requires a willingness to give and take. How can I insist on perfect performance from my dog when I myself have "blips" on my handling?
I hold myself to a high standard as a handler. When I go into the ring, I want to do the best that I can possibly do. This used to make me extremely rigid and stiff in the ring, but I've learned to temper that by remembering that I am also there to enjoy time with my dog. The preparation and training is done. Now is the time to put the best we have out there, but I always want to enjoy the performance at the same time! I want to have a healthy sense of humor about the whole endeavor at the same time that I strive to do my best.
And I apply that same attitude to my dog. So, Tessa didn't exactly pivot. My handling probably had something to do with that. I appreciate her willingness to put herself out there and try her best! And she is incredibly cute, no matter what she does!
Tessa has the potential to be excellent, but I always want to see that tail waggling, her eyes sparkling, and her feeling comfortable enough to let her best self shine.
Sometimes that means letting stuff go for the time being. Knowing when to chalk it up to "things happen" is part of the game. A part that Tessa, much to my surprise, is teaching me quite a lot about.

Tessa's First Rally Trial
Yesterday I took Dean and Tessa to Kamp Kitty in Falling Waters, West Virginia, for a World Cynosport Rally competition. It was actually the first time I have competed in this venue since it changed over from APDT to World Cynosport. So far, other than the button in the center of the placement ribbons, all was the same.
I had Dean entered in Level 1, Level 2, and Veteran's. All Tessa is eligible for is Level 1, so that's what she and I did.
Crating is very tight in this venue. I had hoped to find a place to squeeze in my portable crate, but that was not possible. They did offer me use of a large metal crate that was standing on its own (not in a row of crates) down at the end of the room. I didn't think Tessa would go into it. Not only has she never gotten into a metal crate, but the last time I tried to have her get into one, she very clearly refused. To my surprise, when Dean went in, Tessa followed him and settled right down. No issue! As far as I was concerned, this was Tessa's biggest accomplishment of the day!
Level 1 was first and Dean ran before Tessa. He did a really nice job. It was actually one of the nicest runs he has ever done. He was focused and comfortable, and he just did a really nice job. He earned a 207 for the run. I have a video. It was a self-video and the beginning is cut off, but most of the run is visible. This is best viewed maximized.
Tessa was up next - just three dogs later! She did a fine job in her live competition Rally debut!! She was a little laggy here and there, but even her weakest heeling was much improved! And she had some moments of heeling brilliance!!
She did her sits! She did stand up as I was feeding her on the sit of a sign that was married to a left pivot and I momentarily got confused about what to do. I ended up doing a retry that I really didn't need to do, but it was still a good decision because what I should have done really wasn't in my mind!
Other than that, her run was flawless!! She sat everywhere I needed her to. She just did a really nice job! She is always so much fun. I truly enjoyed doing this with her.
Tessa earned a 204 and got 3rd Place!! She got a really, really pretty yellow placement ribbon!
Dean did well in his first Veteran's run. Another 207. He was the only A dog, so he got first place.
Finally, Dean had his Level 2 run, but it didn't go very well. He got very stressed part way through. The pressure was dropping outside as a snowstorm was moving in and he responded like it was thunder. Nothing we could do about it, we scratched the run about halfway through. It was a good decision. No need to stress him unnecessarily.
After that, I brought Tessa back in and the two of them snoozed away while Level 3 was run.
It was a really nice day. I'd like to finish Dean's RL1X (just need 2 more Level 1 Q's) and get his Vet's title. And I definitely want to get Tessa's Level 1 title and go on to play Level 2 with her. Some Rally training is in order this summer to make that happen!
Good stuff!

Tessa's Rally FrEe Weekend
Our Dandy Dogs Rally FrEe competition was a rousing success! Everyone there was extremely supportive and a good time seemed to be had by all - qualifiers and non-qualifiers alike!
It was a fruitful weekend for Tessa and me, and on Sunday we really had a great time.
I noticed on Saturday that Tessa was not her usual sparkly self. She actually perked up a lot in the ring, but seemed, uncharacteristically, worried out there. I am not sure if she was unnerved because Dean wasn't there. Maybe she was just feeling off kilter. Not sure.
I had entered Dean in non-titling on Sunday, so we brought him along that day, and she was almost back to her normal self.
That said, we really did perform at the level of our training in the ring. She did some really, really, really nice stuff and I see TONS of improvement in her overall performance.
Her return to position at the end of each exercise truly shines!! Through the work with did for Precision Heeling, she has moving herself into heel or side and getting in there ramrod straight down pat!
She did back away from me on course several times, and she performed some behaviors without hand signals in competition for the first time.
Her Free Choice behaviors were all very good, and we got very high scores for every one of them.
That said, there are still things that we need to work on. She didn't back through my legs once. Didn't even come close!! She did manage a back-around on Sunday, but on Saturday the back-around fell apart completely. We need to build more confidence into basic leg weaves! She actually got stuck on those several times! And our bow really needs to get finished.
We missed qualifying by a mile on Saturday morning with a 115!! We did better on her second run, with a 123, only missing the Q by two points!! And on Sunday we finally pulled it off with a 128!
Of course, qualifying isn't everything and when I look at the overall picture, I see the whole weekend as a big success. I knew going in that we really weren't at the level we needed to be at to do this comfortably. And she surprised me in a lot of ways with her position work and the backing that she did. Last Monday she still needed a platform to back away from me!
And given the fact that she was feeling "off" on Saturday, I was very proud of her for going out there and putting all she had into it!
Here is our second run from Saturday. I have put some captions on it, so there is explanation of some of the good and some of the not-so-good!!
And here is our run from Sunday morning - the qualifying one.
I am very excited to keep working these exercises with Tessa to get them really good. The next time we attempt Advanced - probably by video - I want to go in knowing that she can do it all!
Some other highlights of the weekend: The wooden flowers that I painted for our "spring garden of awards" were well received. There was a pistachio cake at lunch that was absolutely to die for! It was great catching up with some Freestyle friends that I don't see very often.
It was just a really nice weekend!
A few ribbon photos!!
