Welcome to Lucy's rally-o blog

Finally got around to signing up for a rally-o session. I've wanted to get started with Lucy in rally for a while now, seeing as she greatly enjoyed previous obedience courses. It seems that in her mind, obedience class is a one-hour-long treat extravaganza. :)

So yeah, Lucy's done a bit of basic obedience stuff before. The graduation test of one of her previous obedience courses was the Canine Good Neighbour test. She easily handled all of the CGN exercises except for the supervised isolation test, which was in the form of a three-minute out-of-sight stay. I was watching her through a one-way window and halfway through she stood up. Gasp... Fortunately though she remained in place, standing, for the last minute and a half. So she got her first ever title, and the first ever title for any of my dogs: CGN, in the spring of 2007.

Though she hasn't taken any obedience classes since then, she has been keeping busy with flyball, agility, and skijoring.

Being a purebred mutt and proud of it, she will hopefully start competing at CARO at some point, provided she continues to enjoy it.
