We were at the agility camp in Vetrkovice in summer 2003 and actually started with some serious trainning there. I have to admitt that Trey surprised me in a possitive way. She kept training the whole two weeks, twice a day. I was thinking that she is still too young to bear it from the mental side. But she managed it, she not only train but also swam, played with other puppies, people, just with everybody who was willing to offer his hands, legs and sometimes a body too. 

2003: Trey is already old enough to trial but there is no hurry and we work hard in training. We also did a lot of work at the Agility Summer Training Camp in Vetrkovice in 2004.

Trey‘s first official Agility Trial was in the hall on the carpet in Kladno city in January 2005. At this time I was already planning our first trip to ASCA Nationals so all our trainings and trials were adjusted to this goal. During ASCA Nationals we had 12 runs in Standard and Jumpers categories. Trey won half of them and in the other 3 Trey placed second. We brought home titles JS-N, RS-N and JS-O.

Trey’s Trial carrier continued in 2006 just with a break for her maternity leave. After this break her weaving improved a lot. I am just not sure where she trained it without me :-) Anyway her weaving poles are very nice now. She also fulfilled conditions to move up to A2 but I have decided to train little bit yet and leave her in A1 for some time. Of course we did not miss the Agility Summer Camp in Vetrkovice. –article and pictures – here. We also participated at the first ASCA European Agility Trial in Germany, which was held in September 2006. Article and pictures – here. Trey finished RS-O there. Not only me but also Trey enjoys more and more our trialling and also our cooperation on the parcour improved a lot.

We made a trip to the ASCA Event in Belgium at the end of April in 2007. Trey came back with the new finished  RS-O title. Article, results and pictures are here. As usual we spent our summer vacation at the Agility Camp in Vetrkovice. I did not think about participating with Trey at the Czech Agility Championship in time and moved her up to A2 too late - in June. We misssed qualification there by one leg.  In 2007 we also made a big trip to the USA again. I decide to try AKC this time too. Trey run 14 runs there. Trey won 7 of them and in the other 4 runs she placed second. She achieved OAJ, NAJ and NA tittles there. But the main reason for our trip were ASCA Nationals in New Jersey. Trey was entered to all possible runs there, which meant in coincidence 14 runs there too. I was very pleased with our unexpected wining of the Gamblers Open at Main Nationals Trial, which also mean the last Q for GS-O. So Trey will compete in Elite levels in all categories :-)) The most delightful thing for me was the possibility to compete with top handlers and dogs there in Jumpers Elite. At Nationals Jumpers 2nd round Trey placed 4th with time difference of 0,95 seconds from the winner. Complete Results from the US trip here

Trey finished on the 5th place (2nd Aussie) in the Agility Merit Standings of KCHBO in 2007. We trialed 35 days in 2007.

Some Results from 2007:

 

Trey trailed 36 days in 2008. She spent 2 weeks at Agility Training Camp in Vetrkovice and qualified on the Czech Agility Championship and also moved up to LA3. Just such normal year :-)

Some of our results from 2008:

 

In 2009 we just simply enjoyed agility with Trey, fighting who will win on zonas and just simply trialed for fun. Trey placed 23rd at the Czech Agility Championship. We were also at ASCA Agility Trial in Belgium and Agility Camp in Vetrkovice.
