Mighty Micah started his agility career in Cincinnati under Brenda Gilday at Unleashed Agility on April 1 and April 2, 2017.  He had had his 15 month birthday on March 21, 2017 and could officially start his career.  I went to Cincinnati because I thought his measurement would be close… it was not.  He measured 16″ – actually about 1.5 inches taller.  I was very concerned as I thought because of his health issue it might be difficult for him to jump that high.  It doesn’t appear to be… as you can see.

The biggest problem is has right now – is me!  I have to remember that he does not yet have the skills of Lukas.  He’s a “baby dog!”  He seems to enjoy running with me.  He is very intense!  He presently is very handler focused… but this will change with experience.  

His contacts are strong…  his start line stay is pretty good.  His weaves are coming…

We went to a “practice trial” today.  He did well.  I must be certain to give him the turning cue.  He ran by me several times on a front cross because I didn’t tell him we were turning early.  My early commands are fairly good…

I think he is on his way to be a good dog…  I must keep working so that we will become a GREAT team!  Not there yet…  go figure – it’s only the second week of trialing!!  It took Lukas and I years…
