Her second run was standard and she did so much better. And she was doing great and did the first 4-5 obstacles and then suddenly just got really stressed and started scratching, sniffing, and shaking off. So decided to just take her out, but we ended up getting a fair amount of the course done and she did do the teeter(though the first time she bailed and the second time she did it, but was clearly not comfortable. but yes we are working on her issues with the teeter at class), she did her weaves!, the table, and somewhat performed her 2o2o on the A-Frame. Pretty proud of her, but decided to let her have a break with all the stressing she was doing...
Her last run of the day was jumpers and baby dog almost Q'd(again)! But the reason she didn't was because after the first couple jumps she turned and ran off then came back and jumped over one of the jumps costing us the Q. But honestly that doesn't matter because she was completely focused, finished the entire course, and did awesome! I also got the results last night and she ended up getting 4th place! Would've gotten a ribbon to if I hadn't left before the ceremonies, but we had to go cuz I had to get back. So here's to hoping either someone from my class got it for us or the judge who's a trainer at the facility I train kept it for her. But either way thrilled with her last run! She stayed with me and finished the course and was just all around awesome and we ended on a very positive note!

I'm considering entering her in another trial in April(and maybe one in may) and this would be an actual trial(so far we've only done intro trials) So that would be pretty exciting...
