Graduation

Sizzle graduated from his first test at Pachesham on Tuesday. We normally have a test every 10 weeks to see how the dogs progress but we haven't have any test for months. Eleanor decided she will test us on Tuesday (just before we break up for one month holiday!), so we went without any preparation (I don't think we could prepare anything). We have two set of tests (that's new!), the Jumping course and the Agility course. Do I have to worry about Sizzle not going to pass his test? He actually handled the courses rather well, we did the agility bit first and we got to practise the A Frame, Dog Walk and See-Saw before the test to let the dogs know the contacts are there. We whizz around the course clear. Then, the Jumping course which we have to time. It was a nice course, depend how you would handled it, I chose to do it the difficult way (means lots of rear across, front cross ... etc), as I handled all the handly bit nicely, the finished was 3 straight jumps in a row, I sent Sizzle over them and thought he will clear them for sure and what happened? He missed the last jump!!! Hahaha ... this is me being too confidence! Luckily, we have another go! This time I make sure he did take the jump.

proud Sizzle with his graduation rosette!!

this is probably not a good idea but I have taught Sizzle he can play with anything I give him, he runs away with his rossette!!

he passes his graduation with "flying" colours!!!
