Jaldi's Great Weekend

I have to add my own shameless brag for Jaldi. I don't have any video, but she earned her P1 Gamblers, P1 Jumpers, & P1 Pairs titles and her first P2 Snooker leg last weekend. The only Q we missed out on was PSJ. The opening was a LOP and I moved too soon. Jaldi dropped the bar on the second jump. Then she worried about it for about half the course. She finally picked up speed after the 2nd aframe, but was not able to make up for the slow start.

She bought a new toy from the vendor. Picked it out herself from the offerings that were set low to the ground. Then she killed it as soon as we got home. I think we can still play with it, but it doesn't squeak anymore. She really likes the squeakies.

Congratulations, Val and Jaldi!

That's a whole lot of titles and Q's, ;-).. You should buy a bunch of extra squeakers and outfit the broken toys, LOL..

May I ask why did Jaldi get worried about the dropped bar?

Re: Jaldi's Great Weekend

Well, I don't know. The psychic said she is a perfectionist? She seemed very distracted at the beginning. I'm not sure why. We did our usual warm-up. And I have added the bark at the start line as part of our routine. I actually do have video of this. I will post it for you. I did not start out quite as I wanted to. I didn't have my feet and body pointing at the tunnel and I moved too soon at the start which is why the bar came down. Jaldi also got a bit distracted in the weave poles. I was able to keep her moving though. And I think that is a good thing. The rest of her runs were really great! She got a 1st or 2nd place in every one. Maybe I just put too much pressure on her for that one run.

Re: Jaldi's Great Weekend

Ahh, I see.. So it wasn't particularly the bar that upset Jaldi.. she wasn't into it from the beginning..

Just making sure she is not phobic about jump poles..

Let me go watch your video on the Premium Coaching Forum and we'll talk about it..
