We are doing a 6 week Rally league through my regional organization called C-WAGS (www.c-wags.org). It's been several months since Inara has done a class or competition so my goal for tonight was just to get a qualifying run and get us BOTH accustomed to the ring again. Well, goober-dog BLEW ME AWAY! We tied for first place with 97 points!

Yay!!! I love how in the vid you can totally tell that she's a wiggle butt and wants to run around like an idiot, but she sooooooo wants to please her mommy! And I love how she swiveled her head to watch you walk around her. So great!

that was GREAT! Her performance of the individual stations is super. A little more focus on you and less nose on the floor = 100!

Thanks all! I was truly thrilled - that's our highest score yet! Hopefully we can keep it up and end the league as high point winner. Emily, ALL of the dogs were having sniffing issues in that back area as that is where the doggy daycare is run. Must be lots of good smells! On a side note, apparently I was tired last night when I posted as I noticed "run" in the subject line came out "ruj." lol

Thanks! It is fun. I like it because I can chitchat with her throughout the entire run so we're both more relaxed.
And thanks for changing Ruj to Run! ;-)

Woopps I got so distracted with watching other videos of her that I forgot to comment. Rally is interesting to me. I think Rocky could enjoy that. She looks like she really enjoys it. I just cant be bothered with anything too structured right now. Like I dont care to attend trials or anything like that. Just want to do it for fun.

very nice. Rally looks really fun. The last training class we went to ended with an intro to rally, it was really fun!!! we may try it at some point.

Thanks all! She really does enjoy rally. Rally and nosework are her two things that she LOVES, so that's what we focus on. It took me a while to accept that she would never be a flyball or agility dog (though dammit, she'd be awesome!) and to let her figure out what she enjoyed and was naturally good at. It's kind of funny because a trainer I went to a long time ago asked if I'd ever considered entering her in obedience competitions, and I laughed at her. Guess she was smarter than me. ;-)

Thank you!
Tonight was the 2nd night of the league, and we once again tied for first place in our division! It was a rougher night (we all decided the "energy" was just off tonight) so we only got 91 points, but hey, first is first, right?
