*ok, Breath kaite!*
ok....Annie's has a dog show tommorow and we have been training SOOO hard all year. I'm sooooo nervous because this year she has to do everything off leash! :eek: She's a novice and that's alot to cover for a two year old doggie and only two years of training.
Just so everyone knows heres the 4-H levels of dog obedience-
Beg. A
Beg. B
Graduate Beg.
Novice
Graduate Novice
Pre-Open
Open
and then there's four dog team, utility, and brace.
Well since I went through Beginer A and Beg B, with odie, I couldn't take Annie in those classes, so when Annie was 6 months old she went against Graduate Beg. dogs, who had about three years of training and got CHAMPION!! So now I'm hoping we can do that again. :D :D :D Wish us luck!!

GOODLUCK for the show/comp/trial, sure you will both do just fine :D
:eek: you guys have alot of different classes to what we have here.we have.
Encouragement, which is all heel on lead, stand free, sit stay 1 min, down stay 3 min. stand for examination. once you get one pass in that class you go onto novice (clover and i are doing novice at the moment)
Novice: heel pattern on lead then off lead, recall, same stays as encouragement, stand free,stand for examination. you need three passes in novice with atleast 2 different judges to get the CD title (companion dog)
Open: heel pattern off lead, retrieve dumbell on flat and directed jumping,drop on recall, and out of sight stays ~shudders~ we will never get through open as clover HATES the dumbell. three passes with atleat two different judges (CDX title)
then the higest level is Utility: all hand signals no voice for a part of it, seek back(find a scented object in the ring), go out to the box (dog is sent out to a box) (4 peices of dowel laid on the ground in the form of a box) the dog must turn around in the box and sit. directed jumping. all of the fun stuff that clove and i will never get to do because of her phobia of the dumbell :(
well i hope everything goes well for you and once again GOODLUCK :D
oh and have you got any photos of Annie ;) im sure everyone would love to see them.
