Biggest learning moment of the year - Learning Dawn Weaver's theories and ideas. Incorporating her style into my agility handling has made an unbelievable difference in my dogs. Rosey and I were getting close to figuring each other out at the beginning of 2013, but we still had lots of sniffing and were frequently over course time because of low confidence. Even though I feel like we still have a long way to go, Rosey has had more "real" runs in the past few months than in all our years previously. We still had to work on a few little things to clean up our runs - timing to keep bars up and contacts on the walk - but it feels like I'm finally running agility with a partner.Happiest moment of the year - Rosey and I finally getting our Open P Standard title, it was over a year to work towards and always with small issues. That run marked the beginning of us clicking together and having fun out there as a team.
Best non-dog moments of the year - Hanging out in San Diego with my folks and siblings, nothing better than a beach nearby and family laughing around the table! Moving into our house, and being able to finally play in a backyard and spread out in the house! Participate in an amazing Sri Lankan wedding last spring (love those two!). And of course, being able to spend another great year with my best friend by my side :).
