Progress

So Kayla and I are one leg away from our Companion Dog Excellent, CDX, title. Last weekend we went 0 for 2 on legs. Each time it was one little piece that fell out of place. The chick worked hard, it was a tough class and she has a novice handler. We were put into the B class with all of the OTCH handlers. It's very nerve racking!!! We did achieve our goal of not dropping the long sit. We worked out butts off at it too!!! Kay held those sits too.

Our training sessions are going to focus on cleaning up my handling, our right and about turns, and fronts. Those fronts and finishes are gimme points!!! We have to clean those up. The fronts are coming along. The right turns are going to take a bit of brain storming. Right now we are working against the wall to keep her butt in. She tends to swing out wide. Back to the drawing board.

The scent articles are progressing nicely!!! I can't wait for it to all come together. Scent articles is one of the coolest exercises ever!! I've always wanted to teach it to a dog and to be able to say that my dog can do it. We're getting close!!!

Happy training!!!
