So I have been running and playing th HT game for a while but never had a dog ready to compete in masters. this weekend I will take my 1st step to the Line in Masters.

Here is to hoping I can keep my heart in my chest and out of my throat.

Have fun, breathe and enjoy the ride!

 

[hotel4dogs]

good luck to you!

 

[DMA]

Enjoy it and enjoy the good dog work you'll see. If it doesn't go well use it as a learning tool to figue out what to work on.

 

[Carol Cassity]

One bird at a time - enjoy!

Like I was told, relax and breath, treat as just another training session. Good luck and trust yourself and the dog.

 

[Martha Lancaster]

Good luck, Terry!

 

[Linas Danilevicius]

Just listen to Storm! She will do just fine.

Best regards,

Linas

 

[Lady Duck Hunter]

Good luck, Terry! What flight did you draw?

 

[Larry Thompson1]

Are you confident the dog can do the work. If you are then go with confidence to the line. You have put the training in and expect it to pay off. Let your dog know you are good to go by bieng very confident at the line. Your dog can sense your behavior and or mood. Be positive and have fun.

Over the years, each time I stepped up a level, I made a few dumb mistakes. I guess everybody does.......or maybe not !

All I can say is good luck, and enjoy it weather you pass or fail.

LDH,
I will be in Flight A. I am also Marshaling so I will wont have a lot of time to just sit around and worry about it.

I worry more about me that the dog. As long as I don't mess up, I think we will be ok.

 

[DOG MAGNET]

Good luck. Just pick-up the chickens and let the Judges judge. Thats all there is to it.

 

[road kill]

[Linas Danilevicius]

Best regards,

Linas

Less then 2 years ago I was in the same boat, my first dog and my first master test. We failed the first 3 test, all handler error. We now have 6 ribbons on the wall along with a master certificate and we have moved on to FT qualifing. I am just glad that they don't do drug testing on handlers, I could be in trouble.
