Courtney Keys - Agility Judge

Someday I will figure out how to give timely cues to my adorable and confident tiny spaniel so she doesn’t grab bonus tunnels, but today is not that day 😂😂

Still processing the amazing time we had at Cynosport this year!

When I first got Nessa, I just wanted her to like agility. She had great skills, but we kept trying to figure out our ring entrance routine because going into the ring at trials always was hard for her. I’ve played with it a lot this year. But it was only at Cynosport where she decided it 100% worked for her and she was all in. It sounds like I’m making that up! But it’s true.

Such a good dog who has never been the fastest out there, but we made Steeple finals and I was so proud of her in that run. She also was 4th in Strategic Games and 5th overall in team individual out of 60-some dogs in 12”, and our amazing and fun team Big Chair Energy placed 10th!

Just goes to show, never give up on your amazing dogs! They might just surprise you one day! Happy trialing!
