Rally & Obedience Training.







Currently, I am booked up on Wednesday nights!!! I am taking a Rally Novice class with the Greater Columbia Obedience Club. I like the hour I get to spend with Ms. Beth, learning new exercises and practicing my basic obedience skills. I'm getting lots better at quickly responding to the "down" command, and Ms. Beth is thrilled about that. But stay is really taking me a long time.... I just don't understand why she would ever want to walk away from me and not have me right beside her? What a silly command!!! But, I am trying to do better at it because it makes her so HAPPY when I do spend a few minutes laying or sitting in the place where she issued the "stay" command.
Over the weekend of January 16-17, Ms. Beth took me to the Greater Columbia Obedience Trial at the SC State Fairgrounds. I had the opportunity to watch my Uncle Jackson perform at the Rally Excellent and Rally Advanced levels. (see attached pictures). It looks like he was having so much fun!!! I really hope that I can be as enthusiastic and as accurate as him!! He received 3rd and 4th place ribbons on Saturday! Yay Uncle Jackson!!!
I'll have to keep you posted on my progress ;) Until next time, Happy Training!!
