Well, Jessie was a good dog this weekend and got his mom another UDX leg. We went to an absolutely wonderful trial put on by the Golden Triangle Obedience Training Club. It was very unusual in that it was
held in a school gym, with crating in the hallways. This produced a very quiet, pleasant working environment and helped my dog a great deal. They also had the most amazing raffel of baskets -- they
looked so professional with everything from coffee to champaign to dog toys. I didn't win one, but I tried. I highly recommend this trial!
I also got to see Linda again with her lovely airedale bitch - she got a 2nd place in Novice. Such a nice way to end Novice -- now on to Open for her (hopefully). We were talking and thought it would be
nice if people included a location in their posts so we know who to look out for at trials. If you feel comfortable doing this, or mentioning when you will be attending a trial, I think it'd be a
great idea.
On Saturday Jessie passed both Utility and Open getting his forth UDX leg. He got his lowest score yet in his life, a 180 in Utility, but that's passing so ok with me. Open was his usual 195, and not good
enough for a placement, but still made me very happy. Sunday was unlucky -- he failed to take a jump in utility until a 2nd command and broke his sit stay in open. Oh well!
