CPE Agility
Tonight in class, I was told by my instructor that we are now at a level where we could consider competing and actually be very competitive in CPE Agility Level 1. Woohoo!!!
  She also said that if we could get our weave poles down, we could even potentially be competitive in Level 2! Pimg is really, really fast and fearless on the teeter, but she hasn't really even started weave pole training- the two obstacles that Level 2 adds. We got to do some extra long sequences in class today, and Pimg was so fast... Man... I wish I could get some video for you guys. Also- I decided our first AKC event will be Oct 8th of this year, nearly half a year from now. I think with diligent work, we can certainly be ready for novice level AKC trials by then. Perhaps not competitive, but definitely good enough to be out there and maybe Q. Anyway... I'm pretty stoked right now to have been told we're ready for very easy, level 1 competition. Hey- you have to start somewhere!! (And I used the apple emoticon because, well, because it never gets used. Apples are good too!  )

The next CPE event around here that I will be able to make is not until July 16. That's fine though- gives us some more time for practice. But yeah, I think I will sign up- should be great!

Awesome! CPE looks like a lot of fun and I bet you will have a blast!
There's a CPE trial here, not this weekend but next weekend that I was thinking about entering but I don't think it's going to work out, unfortunately.

I was looking for videos on youtube of Level 1 CPE trials and found this one randomly. It just so happens that this is the facility I train at, and we ran an almost identical sequence last night! I think it will be a ton of fun!

CPE is a really great venue to get started in. Their Level One is really perfect for beginner handlers with beginner dogs. It gets you into competing before you're ready to run at an AKC Novice level, which is good for building confidence (both the handler's and the dog's!) and learning about competitions. And CPE tends overall to be a more relaxed, fun venue. Even though the trial isn't until July, you should find out when it opens and get your entries in early. I just entered a CPE trial towards the end of May that is almost full already.
