Completely unexpectedly Grom and I went to the last
this year's competition at KD Krim. We were second
again and finished the season as second in national
championship :-)
Grom
and I attended a Rally obedience competition in our
home club and were without the competition in our
class (RO IV). We showed a nice work and earned
excellent 180 (out of 190) points.
I
went with Grom to a
final rally obedience competition. We again finished
3rd (VIDEO).
Among other things I forgot to finish one easy
exercise and Grom couldn't persist in the long sit
exercise because the pressure that was put on him
with Fita's barking was just too much for him ;-).
We only earned 165 points out of 190 but we weren't
the last after all :-). In all we managed to finish
a season as 3rd by only one point.
LOŽNICA pri ŽALCU, 14. 6. 2009
We
competed in RO IV class for the first time. Grom is
convinced that this class is much better than the
rest of the classes, because the side changes and
turns are almost like agility :-). We did great,
finished first and gained 185 out of 190 points (VIDEO).
LJUBLJANA (KD KRIM), 12. 10. 2008 -
7th Competition for the National Championship - The Finals
On this almost
summer-hot day (after the fog has finally lifted around noon) we could
really enjoyed this year's final competition of the National
Championship. Grom and I competed in the RO III class for the first time
and finished with 162 points (out of 190) in the 3rd place. We started
the course quite badly as we got zero points for two out of the first
four exercises. But after that we managed to get through the course
quite decently. We even survived the long sit exercise even though the
annoying flies bothered Grom through it.
MARIBOR, 14. 9. 2008 - 6th Competition for the National
Championship
After more than a
year long break Grom and I managed to get to RO competition again. We
finished in a last, 3rd place in RO II class with 153 points (out of
170). We were poorly prepared for this competition, because Grom needs a
lot of practice and preparation for a good performance, but that was
impossible, because of my other obligations. So he performed in his own
stile (he was all over the place) and on top of it I managed to forget
one exercise.
MARIBOR, 9. 9. 2007 - 5th Competition for the National
Championship
After a minimal
amount of practice Grom and I performed in a RO 2 class for the fist time.
Our work was again quite nervous and we finished 2nd with 80 points (out
of 85).
NOVO MESTO, 9. 6. 2007 - 4th Competition for the National
Championship
Our second RO
competition was very successful for me and Grom as we won the RO I with
73 points (out of 75). Despite that I will need a lot more training and
competitions before I'll loose my nervousness. I was so nervous that my
legs entangled and I barely walked in a straight line. It also wouldn't
hurt to learn how to count to two :-)). I namely managed to mess up an
exercise because a made just one step instead of prescribed two although
I counted them.
LJUBLJANA, 27. 5. 2007 - 3rd Competition for the National
Championship
I finally managed to
get to RO competition, where Grom showed once again that he's really
talented for the obedience. We were a little bit unlucky with the course
design as the first two exercises were the jump and the see-saw. Grom
was absolutely convinced that he's starting the agility course and it
was quite a miracle that he heeled to the jump but after that I couldn't
hold him back any more and he finished the see-saw in the agility stile
with nicely performed contact in the end. We needed two more exercises
to get in to the right rhythm but after that we did great right to the
end. So we earned 67 points (out of 75) which was together with the 3rd
best time enough for the 2nd place.
My
friend Martin made a very nice
VIDEO of me and Grom on our first RO
competition (many thanks, Martin).
