Masters Foreeever!

I am very happy that Party is now in Masters for all classes. I can't say that it was our prettiest run but we got the job done.
The weekend of June 6-7 was Riverside's USDAA trial in Nashua. During this trial Party was very freaky regarding the tent that the computers and PA were under. Freaky to the point of fight or flight reaction. I got her to work through her anxiety by leaving the area and asking for simple hand touches. Since this trial we had a AKC trial in which she was also freaky. At this time I am going to do much more herding and lots less agility. I will have Party in a few that I work for and train her through her anxieties. I hope.
My hope is that by going back to herding she can gain more confidence in the real world. Which should help in agility also.
