I have thought long and hard about what I want to do this year and really want to make time for obedience. This past year I didn't make any effort at all to get in the obedience ring. This year I really want to. Obedience was my first dog sport. I really do love to train it. Agility is just so much more time consuming...
Anyway, on to the individual goals for me and the dogs...
Amanda
- Succesfully handle a threadle on a course. Sounds easy...it's not.
- Be a better trainer- consistency in the little things....
- Be more open minded. My way is not always the only way. Really.
- Be nice. I am a bit bossy. Apparently I scare people. Really.
Wicca
- Succesfully complete a threadle on a course. Sounds easy....it's not.
- Earn her MAD, and hopefully an AtCh
- Get out of Advanced Jumpers..
- Get into the Open ring
- Get her Rally Novice title at least
- Play scenthurdle again
- Oh- and place in the top five at Nationals...
Boone
- Apply for his stupid PEN # already... (vet apt on Thursday...the first step will be done)
- Get his Rally Novice title
- Train his contacts better :o)
- Build focus, and duration for agility.
- Train for a CD
- More Herding!
- Play in APDT Rally- maybe a novice title
- Train Weave Poles
- Focus more in improving his social skills
- More Herding!
Pixel
- Build a solid foundation for agility and obedience- lots of things fall in to this category- It could really be a blog post all on it's own- jumping foundation, contacts, speed, handling. All can be taught on the flat with little or no equipment
- Tracking- she has a great nose, and I'd love to try it.
- Obedience- I'd like to get her CD before she is two.
