Oh my- our very first obedience trial! Possibly our last obedience trial! ;)

I find obedience way harder than rally. I think it may be easier for Lucky, but I have the devil of the time remembering all of the rules and not giving double commands. But the trial was where we practice and I knew we'd never get a better venue for our first obedience trial, so we gave it a shot.

Lucky did well on the things I most worried about- the stand for exam/sit for exam and the long stays. He completely horked up things I thought would be easy. It's like he totally forgot he was supposed to sit when we halt. We have our Rally Advanced title! This should not be a foreign concept to him! He's pretty cute, though. Looking at me like 'What do we do now, mom!?'

Such a dork

But 'yay' we qualified and had fun doing it. Obedience doesn't hold a candle to agility, IMO, but it's still fun and any practice is good practice. We'll at least be going for our CD title.
