My Trial Journal

I started a trial journal this month based on info from the Jan 2011 "Clean Run".  It is still a work in progress, but I am already reaping benefits from consolidating information and standardizing how I keep track of documentation and data accumulated during trials.

The journal provides a method for keeping track of trial information such as:

• course maps
• run notes and observations
• scores
• strengths
• opportunities for improvement
• people I meet
• skills I want to work on / learn
• goals and objectives
• training plan outlines
• hotel information
• vendor information

 I am also using my journal for summarizing data:

• Pareto tracking of training issues
• Title Tracking
• Time Tracking (yps) for JWW and STD

Agility - Definition

A concise definition of the sport.

AGILITY: It’s a dog sport where the handler guides the dog off-leashed into an obstacle course under a specific order and time given by a judge. To win this competition you have to run with your dog in the less time and with the less or none faults.

Temporary Height Card

I was able to get Jane Mohr to measure Menina for her temporary height card.  She measured 15 7/8 inches.  This puts her smack dab in the middle of the 16" jump height range.  She will have to be remeasured at 2 yrs (after December 10).
