Another trial in the books. Marginally better results than on Sunday, but still nothing close to a Q.

The first course today did feel much better to me, Kaija was jumping and whining a bit but overall we went through okay. I lost her on the second course. We're really struggling with engagement and focus in the ring - I'm not sure if it's about proofing, confidence building or reducing reinforcement. Likely a mix of all those things tbh, or maybe something else entirely.

Still I'm very happy that we got to get back out in the ring, both on Sunday and today! I was so sure Kaija would go into heat right before and I'd have to withdraw lol.
