Taylor has had a lot of clear rounds and a lot lot more with just the one error - usually a rail knocked down. Just lately he is not approaching many of the hurdles with a nice flowing action - instead he hesitates a little before jumping them. I put it down to being slighly over the maximum ideal weight and the rails in New Zealand being set too high for a Corgi. We can go fast - he has gotten down to second fastest time out of over 60 competitors of mainly large size dogs (Border Collies etc).
Try giving him a real sincere and vigourous pep talk when on the starting line. It should help rev him up.
