Shelby's mom
Forums Enthusiast
I am always looking for something new to do with Shelby so we signed up for a rally class. We had our first class on Wednesday and I was surprised at how well she did. We only did about 13 stations and only right turns. There are 4 dogs in the class and we are the only one that has never done this before. I think Shelby did better than the experienced dogs.
I have to work on not leading her with the leash but I know we will improve. Unfortunately one dog is very aggressive and must be crated when not running the course. He sets Shelby off with his antics. She doesn't understand and barks back at him wanting to play. So this is a good opportunity for me to work on "quiet" with her.
These same dogs were in her CGC class this past winter (Shelby was the only dog that passed). So at least we know what to expect from each other.
