May 40x85 League Results

International Dog Agility League

We played on a numbered course this month using a historical course from December 2016.

There are a couple of fun things about running historical courses. First, if you ran the course back in December 2016, you get to compare your new run with your old run. This can really demonstrate to you how much you and your dog have learned. Or, it can show how an older dog is running compared to the previous run. For example, does the older dog in the new run show any indication of having difficulties with the handling or certain obstacles. Second, you get LPP for the new run in addition to the LPP you had from the old run. People who have never run the course get a boost in LPP because their run is compared to other dogs who ran the course even though it was in 2016. If it were a new course, there would be fewer dogs to compare to and the LPP would be lower.
