To stand on the top of the podium at the WC? I think that can be a kind of a goal for many handlers but I don&#39;t think that&#39;s the real motivation. And for many people it&#39;s just not even possible for whatever reason. So, can it be some other results, Q:s for finals and titles..? I hope no one has the results as the real motivation because I think that can be destructive and for me it would be scary and boring. For me good results are nice but that&#39;s not my motivation at all. My motivation is to see the glow in my dogs eyes, feel the energy and happiness and&nbsp;get the total understanding between me and my dog &#8211; the perfect flow in the highest possible speed. It&#39;s not always easy but now and then you just get that perfect feeling, that perfect flow and understanding. And that&#39;s my motivation, what can be better?! I think that&#39;s why we travel the world around, mile after mile and spend all our money for those seconds on the course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I made a video from one of Ina&#39;s runs, when I had that special, perfect feeling. I made it some months ago, but I just finished it when I got the phone call that Gemma died, so my motivation to share the video was not the best at that time. Finally I can feel happy again about the run when I watch it. I still miss Gemma so badly and that will never change. But as time goes I can appreciate things that is connected with her and not only cry, even though it&#39;s difficult and it still hurts for every time I think bout her. This video is forever connected with Gemma and that terrible day she went away from us. But for me it&#39;s also filled with love, hope and gratitude for life, my dogs and the years we got with Gemma. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LsZ0tVrn0bc\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Fredrik Selander What is the motivation for all us agility-nerds?
