My friend Taryn, in Missouri, sent me the course diagram for this killer JWW course she had to run last weekend. Dash only needs one more Open leg before he's in Exc. JWW, so I decided to see how many times it took for us to do the first 12 obstacles without any errors. We only nailed it on our 9th and 11th tries!

Note that four of the errors were Dash missing the weave entry. That's because the jump just before the weaves was headed straight towards the open breezeway and Dash's toy box. So he kept hopefully heading towards the breezeway, swung wide, and missed the weaves. In actual competition, he has gotten the weaves perfect on the first try 12 of 13 times. 

Also, he knocked a bar on one of the attempts, but has never knocked a bar in competition, and very seldom in training. 

Anyway, it was a very difficult opening for us. Thanks to Taryn for sending it!
