To be fair it was one of those on paper bad days but in reality good days.
Two years ago she came to watch Mrs Spaniel in an agility show. I had to have her muzzled and struggled to control her with a double lead and harness combo. Today she trotted around the outside of 7 rings with only a disinterested glance at what was going on, no muzzle and on a normal lead and collar. We queued nicely in between other dogs waiting for our go.
We had an impeccable start line wait and most importantly nice chips! ?

In hindsight it was too busy an atmosphere for her and she panicked and got overstimulated the minute I walked away from her.

Next Friday we try again at a fun show with only one ring and a smaller atmosphere and if she doesn't behave there it doesn't matter, we have the winter to work on it. Just getting into the ring was a massive achievement.
