Agility Dog- Audrey and Ollie-VID00035

Audrey is only a 4th grader showing her less than 2 year old German shorthair pointer named Ollie in Beginner-A 4-H Agility. It's tough to manage the leash over the uprights of the jumps and when he goes through the tunnel. The judge (in this case me) also looks that the person does have a "tight leash". Audrey does a very nice job of using her voice and positive encouragement to urge her dog forward through the course. The reason Ollie had to do the A-Frame again is because on the way up the first time, not even one of his feet landed in the contact zone (yellow area). This usually happens because they jump up onto or off of the A-frame too fast and high. It's a safety measure that we train them to have at least one paw land in the yellow-zone. Good job!
