Lucs and Sammys second class 3 parcour in RallyO (highest class in germany).

They did SO WELL.

Even it rained and I walked near them Sammy focused well on Luc - they worked so amazing together.

It was Lucs second class 3 parcour and he did so good with the signs.

We corrected a couple of mistakes at the end but just: wow.

I am so proud of them ❤️.

Rally-Obedience "circle-cup".

Rain and wind + cold?

Sammy is still motivated - actually so motivated I have problems to keep up with his speed.

It always makes me happy that he enjoys it so much.

69/100 points because I repeaded some signs wrong.

I did many mistakes this day (shame on me).

Sammy was, as always, an barky angel ❤️.

A bit training with Sammy and Pino.

With Sammy just a few heelwork side changes for RallyO and he did so good.

Pino is a bit hard to handle while training since ca. February.

All the girls are his big love so he is less focused, this means shorter training and more fun to keep up his motivation + focus games.

And he started to "bite" my leg while heelwork.

I try to find the reason behind the nipping - I think it may be a bit frustration from his side.

Otherwise he is a hard working boy too and giving all he has.

I am super proud of both boys ❤️.

A bit Rally-Obedience training with Sammy, nearly 18°C and sun - a dream.

Yesterdays training went okay, I was tired and Sammy was "on fire".

I am always so happy to see that he enjoys our training too.

We walked the parcour 2 times and Sammy really did so good.

My signals were a bit slow and not clear so he thought one time he need to change his side behind me at the beginning (it was supposed to be over the front).

And in the second walk (same sign) I did a signal mistake.

I talled him to come and sit but did the hand sign for a spin (dumb brain).

So he thought about to spin but stopped because he listens to my vocal commands too and sat down.

I am happy that I was filmed so I saw he was moving when he was in the stay command and I walked away.

Lets just say: thank you Sammy for always being an amazing good boy.

He saves us so often, especially at competitions because my brain is on vacation.

Two full days are behind uns - much work but we had lot of fun.

Friday:

Baking cakes and cooking soup at early morning for our rally-obedience competition at the dog club.

At midday to the dog club, cleaning, decorating (it was st. Martin themend) and building up the competition field.

Saturday:

Since it was a competition at our dog club and I am the Obfrau (person who is not only trainer but resposible at events etc. for this dog sport too) it was hard but fun.

It was a long and hard day but so so so super good.

I walked with Sammy in class 3 and we got 78/100 points - I did two big mistakes but Sammy was so super good.

My mom walked with Fox in senior class and got 99/100 points - I cried so much because I am so happy for them.

I train Pino and told my mother (it is her dog but I train him) she is ready to walk his first beginner class with him and they did so well - my mother did some mistakes but they did so super well 75/100 points.

And Luc walked with Sammy his first rally-obedience competition AND THEY GOT THIRD PLACE.

They did so super well together, 91/100 points.

All in all I am just so so so super proud of everyone, I am really happy ❤️.

(Luc is totally okay that I show this picture, he is so proud too - I surely asked.)

"Halloween-cup" rally-obedience competition and Sammy was on fire, 95/100 points in class 3.

This walk felt so good, we both had so much fun.

Sammy is always an angel and giving his best, having fun but I started to struggel.

With the last competitions my problems started to grow again but this day, it just felt right.

Thanks to Sammy for being so patience with me ❤️.

The Rally-Obedience signs at Cruft are looking different from what I know (german signs), I would love to learn them.

And I like that there is an object retrieve in the course - Sammy would love it!

We are on the way in a few hours to a Rally-Obedience seminar/workshop for the new rules and signs 🐶!
