    so we went to Atlanta and stayed with 2GoodDogs and the 2 good dogs in October. Limited numbers of people were allowed in the building so I set my tablet on a tripod and recorded our runs that way.
    There were 2 rally trials on Sat and 2 on Sun. Cran was entered in Master all 4 trials- he just needs points for his Rach so that's what we were there for. I entered Jocu in Intermediate in both Sat shows and Destin in Intermediate in both Sun shows. They also offered team so Cran and Destin were on the team, and Flyer and a friend to fill in for Justus. I'd never seen team Rally before- we've been doing team Obedience for a while so we wanted to give it a shot.
    everyone did good- Jocu got his Intermediate title Sat morning- that would be the run that I forgot to video at all. Cran did get some points so it was a good trip for him. and Destin got more ring time- he got his Intermediate title last fall. the boys need more practice before moving to offleash in Advanced.
    so there are videos but due to the tablet being on a tripod and far from the entry gate, the videos need edited before I can post them - still working on that.

    It was but it went really well. everyone cooperated with the guidelines and we definitely had fun.
    I kinda liked crating out of the car- it was good for Destin as he barked last year when he heard me with Cranberry in the ring.
    yes, we plan to come again in the future:yes: as long as you'll let us come :winkgrin:

    Great job! Bet it helps to get ring time since all the Covid lock downs! So fun to see the level of concentration! I bet it is easier with not so many folks allowed in the building causing distractions!

    yes for the younger dogs- when Cran is in there, he's very focused and doesn't notice too much outside the ring. there was one time at our horse arena, someone who doesn't compete decided to watch with her dog and sat on the arena side by the rings instead of the bleachers on the other side. Cran wasn't the only one to give her and the dog a good look but he did complete the course.
    I did see both Jocu and Destin check out the judge when we were in the ring in Atlanta-like what is that person doing in here?
