Obedience Brag

Lola1969 · 08-25-2009, 02:37 PM

My shy, nervous guy and I graduated from INtermediate class last night. This class is geared toward people and dogs who have an eye toward competing.

We began the class 8 weeks ago not even IMAGINING that we could possibly compete. I got really down on myself for being such a poor handler of my unconfident boy. However, after some great advice from my fellow board members, we got back on track.

Anyway, our instructor and several of the seasoned obedience competitors in class said they were really impressed with our progress and that Ozzy could certainly compete with of course more training! I couldn't believe it!

We start beginning Rally Sept. 12th and I'm going into it with renewed confidence in my handling and Ozzy's abilities. Not much of a brag I know, but for a shy rescue GSD, this is pretty big deal!
