bc soul sista Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 My boy and I had a GREAT weekend!!! Decided to try for his first couple CDX legs at a pretty big trial up here..our class was one of the biggest I've ever been in..over 20 dogs both days in open A!! My best bud did GREAT!!! Had a run off the first day for 2nd place and won!! Good boy!! Then day 2 we had a class of 25+ dogs...4 way run off for first plaace which we won!!! I was so thrilled!!! He worked his heart out and stayed focused and had fun!! To him of course, he just gets to play with his mom We had almost perfect heeling, but were hit 1/2 points on a few fronts...we'll keep working on it!! I also decided to try Rally for the first time! I didn't mess up any signs YAY!!! 2 first places with perfect scores of 100 in a HUGE Novice B class!!! The judge said we broke the record for speed on the course we did the second day!!! LOL!! With a bc you gotta motor!! We had fun and might try it again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysheperdess Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Congradulations!! That is a big accomplishment! Was this Open A or B? Are you a newer handler??? Where do you train?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc soul sista Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 THANKS EVERYONE!!! It has been a FUN journey so far!!! Shyshepherdess I was in the Open A class! So a newer trainer/handler!! I'm pretty young also, mid twenties so it's been quite the learning experience for me I mostly train by myself now..I started out in lessons at a pet store, then looked for a better training facility when I decided I wanted to learn more and advance. I started taking classes at an awesome training club and kind of just put my own variation on stuff to fit my dog and I!! I take private lessons here and there and work on my own. I also have a block of "walk-in" classes at a couple different training places and go there weekly, other friends and veteran handlers provide GREAT insight into problem solving Heeling has been our biggest challenge, FORGING FORGING FORGING!! Learning correct postion and learning to use his body(he is a bit longer in the back, lateral and rear usage were all huge challenges. I didn't think he might EVER make a nice heeling dog!! He proved me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
