Echo and Roddy made the trip across the river to Vancouver to compete in the Willamette Toy Dog Club show on Thursday and Friday.
We tried to downgrade Echo from Rally Advance to Rally Novice, judge said no way. He is not as reliable off leash as I would hope, so we will hope for the best.
Echo's Results:
Thursday - qualifying run of 89. Had trouble with the Jump and the Stand from Sit, I'd say my fault for not training enough. So now that we have a qualifying run in Advanced, he can never compete in Novice. We need to work on his reliability, focus and attention.
Friday: NQ. I got his attention at the Start sign and started off straight ahead with the command 'heel'. Echo did a 90 degree turn and headed out gate. Oops!
Roddy's Results:
Thursday - NQ. Got distracted, check the video.
Friday - NQ. Darn, he only needed one more leg to get his title.
