Getting Ready for the Show

I'm super pumped for the Star City Canine Training Club agility/obedience/rally trial this weekend! I'm not even competing and here I am getting all prepared with what to bring. I have not been to a trial since July of 2008 when Libby and I competed last and Jasper was about three months old.

I cooked up some thin round steak with garlic powder for J's treats at the trial. He will work for kibble, but I wanted to bring something extra special to the table in an attempt to keep his attention in the crazy trial atmosphere. As of now, I don't know anyone else who is attending the trial. I thought that one of my teachers from Richmond, Cindy, might be going, but it turns out that she is not. Hopefully I will be able to take some pictures and video at the trial and post them on here.

I think I will start paying attention to the border collies competing at trials. I need to start asking around for good breeders as I'm thinking about getting a border collie as my next dog. Jasper is an all around awesome dog though, so I may want to get another springer somewhere down the line.
