Ashley,

If your Belgian puppy is trained in Obedience, he/she should definitely be able to tackle Rally Novice without any classes really. It's mostly a HANDLER thing in the novice class -- learning the signs, keeping a loose leash, etc.


With Rien, I "do" Rally-O (he's been in one trial and has one leg, we're going to finish his RN title later this year or early next, depending on what my school schedule agrees with more) and SNOW PLAY! Once in a while we do get a chance to go to a friend's house with sibes and huskies and sled. Rien's doing really well as a wheel dog at the moment, and we're working on getting him to run lead. He was a conformation prospect, but that didn't exactly pan out, due to a certain testicle not really reappearing.
