More trial & error..w/ photos!
We failed again. If we continue trying to title for the IPO2, we need some serious remodeling in protection. He's having a hard time moving forward with confidence after being stepped on in the last trial. Frustrating
 But on a good note, his tracking was pretty awesome. It was his best track to date. Super intense and focused with good speed. He didn't miss a step...But he did miss both articles so our score went from a 98 to a 77. Of course I have to say he's never done that before!!! The conditions were excellent. A little chilly out, but not terrible for November weather. The frost was so perfect.  104 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  107 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  112 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  117 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  119 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr Obedience was fun. I was super nervous at first, but I got out there and felt the most comfortable that I have been since we started trialing. We actually had a good time out there together, as a team. We ended up with a 91. He performs everything well, but needs more power overall. He's just kinda a lazy guy   185 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  190 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  206 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  207 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  217 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr  218 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr Protection was a mess. But I know what needs work now. I may continue with just tracking and obedience titles. We are going to take a little break and see what happens. We got to play ball at the end of the day and ended on a good note.  609 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr Also took some stacked shots. Handsome guy   599 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr Another scary and heartbreaking day overall. Feeling a bit more discouraged than last time, but I'm going to just wait and see what happens for now. Aiden and I tried our hardest and still had a good time out there, especially with his excellent job in tracking and obedience. Good thing I will always love this boy regardless of our titles.  184 by Gator_Dog, on Flickr Oh! I got a cool new sticker for my car too!!!  sticker by Gator_Dog, on Flickr

Great pics! I love # 217 ... perfect "snapping" moment of the camera!
How frustrating for you ... but how rewarding on how far you've both moved along!!! I think it's a great idea that you have ... take a break for a while and just "be" with your dog and then move forward when you're ready ... We all hit plateaus and they're not fun ... He certainly looks like he's having fun in the pictures ... so I wouldn't say it was a total failure ... like that old Meatloaf song ... "two out of three ain't bad!"
