Pipers first obedience trial

[Piper's mom]

ive entered Piper in his first obedience trial and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what I should bring with us as the trial is a 4 hour drive away and we'll be staying the night in another town (it'll also be his first night away from home and in a strange environment. I'll be bringing the usual stuff ie. food and water bowls, treats, brushes etc but is there anything else I should bring that I might need The show isn't until June 4th but I like to be prepared well in advance (cover all my bases). I've entered him in Pre-novice, I'm totally excited right now but I'm sure the jitters will start closer to the trial

Canned pumpkin (and a can opener) in case of an upset stomach. White noise machine for the hotel to block out strange noises.

Good luck! Please keep us posted.

LOTS of treats and of varying values. I always bring way more treats than I need because I never want to be the person trying to bum treats off others because I ran out haha .

I would bring water from home, sometimes my dogs will refuse water that smells or tastes different from what they drink at home.
Bring your copy of the Judging program, all the info you need will be in that. How exciting! I will never forget my first trial out of town, it was such an exciting adventure with my best friend, who became UCDX Sasha CDX, RA!
