Gus only had one run today and that was a jumpers run. I spent more time today with the dogs in the tent so Flex did a lot better with the barking. Since I volunteered so much on Saturday I decided to spend more time with the dogs. The Jumpers course map is shown above. Gus did OK - only knocking 4 bars. I did a running start with him since his stays are bad right now and we took off. As he was landing after jump 2 I told him to go tunnel so of course he changed direction and headed for the number 6 tunnel. Go figure. I assumed that since he was looking directly at number 4he would head right for it and I could get into position for jump number 5 but he had other ideas. Anyway, I was able to call him off of the off course tunnel and got him back on track and over jump 3 however he knocked that one. Since I then baby sat the number 4 tunnel entrance I was not in a good position to front cross after jump 5 so he knocked that bar too. he handled pretty smoothly from 6 to 9. we ran the remainder of the course and he knocked jumps 10 and 13. He finished with a time of 27.05 sec. The course distance was 122 yds which means he ran it in 4.51 yds/sec which is really fast for a corgi (and we wasted some time with the off course bobble)! If we could just figure out how to correct his jumping issue.
