He sees no point in holding a third place ribbon. But I'm still proud of him. 2/10 of his way to Rally Choice.

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 ❤️.

So it was a very successful weekend overall. 5/6 Qs.

Today she got a 196/200 in Open B and got her CDX title! She was happy and we ran through a lot cleaner than yesterday!

Then she got another 200/200 in Rally Excellent! She was very engaged and happy for rally which I loved!

She again got HIT for Obedience, Rally and Rally Aussie.

She did fall apart in Wildcard Utility. I need to find a way to boost her confidence with directed Retrieve. So that was an NQ, then she was unsure and ended up jumping a jump on go outs. So two exercises she NQed.

CKC finally confirmed today that Mav was the top rally brittany in 2022 😭

#dogblr #maverick #rally obedience #he finished his careeras the top 2023 brittany and the no.6 sporting dog in rally #but idk if he will hold onto that until the end of the year #im soooo pleased #what a legacy to leave behind #top three moments: no. 3 every time he made giant heart eyes at his fans in the middle of a run #no. 2 every perfect masters exercise because those are really hard #and no. 1 everytime he saw the toy distraction on course and chomped it then spit it out and kept running #he chomped four different toy distractors and never nq'ed those runs #we lost points but i dont care #hes such a cool dog #i am so happy he has this immortalized

I want to make local dog people friends and meet up to train together and go to rally competitions together. I want to shadow dog trainers and learn how guide dogs are trained and train guide dogs. I want to pursue this passion that I think would actually be close to manageable for me if only I didn't have to work. Instead I must spend almost all of my waking hours on this thing I barely care about, that I only do because I can't bear to ever give up my horse. He is my #1 priority, always. But I so wish I could pursue my dog training passion too. I wish I could have both, but I can barely have one, and for it I must sacrifice the majority of my life. Anything is worth it for him, but I wish it didn't have to be.

He acted the fool, but he qualified 3/4 times! The judge was very gracious.

@ dogblr

Does anyone have any tips for building distance in a back up? We need both distance away from the handler (3-5m), as well as distance in the back up itself (approx. 3m).

For context, these are the rally signs we're working on:

(In 422 the dog remains in position according to the previous sign while handler walks 3-5m away, turns around and then cues the back up.)

I trained Kaija's back up using a rear foot target, but I may not have faded it correctly. With the target we were able to work up to the necessary distances. But without the target she'll back up ~1m (maybe a bit more), then pause and wait for a second cue; if I repeat the cue, she'll back up some more. She also tends to back up crooked and overall just seems kinda unsure about the whole thing.

I'm thinking we need to first go back to the rear target and just work on muscle memory to help her stay straight. But how to then fade the target without losing some of her understanding? Or maybe targets aren't the best way to teach this at all? 🤔

#dogblr #dogs of tumblr #rally obedience #rally ob #dog obedience #dog sports #dog training #tips&tricks and general thoughts welcome and highly appreciated! #these signs are giving us the most trouble so far #to be fair i didn't really go about training them in the most thought out way to begin with #so can't be all that surprised that they're falling apart now #i'm sure we'll get there eventually :)

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.

Day 2

Soooo much better. We swung too far from being flat and stressed, to I amped her up too much and it caused some issues with forging and vocalizing. 🥴 Yet I will take too excited over mopey any day of the week. So overall the day made me feel so much better.

Judge was kinder than she should have been and gave us a 195 in utility. Did we earn a 195? No. I'd say closer to high 180s. Signals alone should have been a -6. Some forging issues, one where she blocked my left turn pretty bad by being a body length ahead of me. Also got a very slow sit for the halt, the judge waited until she did. Yet she did have a lovely position changes, front and finish. No auto finish today! Otherwise we also got a no sit on one go out but at least they were straight. She also dropped both articles again, but did bring them both to me. Overall it was a fun and happy run. Which makes my soul happy.

Open B she managed to tone down the craziness and we had a lovely run with a 198. No obviously big faults. Felt like that was more earned.

She had a lovely Masters run in rally, still fired up and whining. Little forging but nothing major. She got a 196.

Then in Excellent she got a 197. It felt like a fantastic and perfect run so I don't know where the points were off.

I had a few people approach saying that my masters run should have been closer to 198, and they don't know how she took anything off for excellent. (These were official judges saying this, who were competing themselves.) As long as I didn't get knocked out of getting my X legs then I'm fine with it.

Today Aayla was High combined for both obedience and rally. Yet this trial was TINY. We were the only team eligible for the HC in obedience and one of two teams for rally.

My beautiful dog finished his rally career in style, with three phenomenal qualifying runs and his rally master (RM) title!

I have had so much fun learning rally obedience with this little dog. He's forgiving when I'm not quite sure where my feet are supposed to be but sensitive enough to hold me accountable when I'm being unfair in my handling. I prioritized his confidence and joy in the ring over our ribbons and man, it paid off! In exactly one year of trialing, he finished off his novice, intermediate, advanced, excellent, masters titles (and more than half those runs were High in Class runs!), but more importantly, he looked thrilled to be playing the game.

It sucks that an injury is taking him out in his prime, but I'm so grateful that Mav was the dog I got to learn with. He's the coolest dog in the world. ❤

#dogblr #maverick #rally obedience #i could possibly work him through his spine issue but honestly thats not fair to him #hes such a hard worker he would do it even if it hurt #so its better to end here on a good note #(we wouldve ended regardless if he got his title or not - just wouldve been much more sad) #i have a really fun post for when i get to brag about him being rhe number 1 brittany in ckc rally #but ckc hasnt released their top dogs yet so i need to wait for confirmation #his only remaining sport is nosework and even that is only for the summer #hes pretty much done everything #lowkey hiking and enrichment for the summer #lots of visits with people he loves #hes the best dog in the world this all sucks so much
