Decided it's about time I posted new photos of Nova... I'm such a forum lurker! :o
November was an exciting month for us - we entered our first agility trial! Nova got her first qualifying round in jumpers, but we also had some set backs. She was afraid of the teeter at the trial and then couldn't distinguish the dog walk from it and wouldn't do either.. that fear has still continued on in our training classes, but I'm working with our trainer to get her to overcome it.
We also walked in our town's santa parade as part of the dog club promoting the new dog park. Nova looked like a maniac compared to the other dogs who were walking so nicely.. she was pulling and spinning in circles and trying to play with the other dogs the whole way. She stuck her nose in front of the camera crew recording and had her couple of seconds on TV.. :laughing:
Waiting for the ball to be thrown at the park.

Then a few seconds later I'm catching her rolling in the leaves.. she looks startled, haha
