One of the reasons I was so concerned about making sure our rally obedience trial entries were for Sunday, and not Saturday, is because I wanted to do Freya’s regular Saturday morning class. I don’t know yet if this was a good idea or a bad one. It did give us one last pre-trial opportunity to work in a training situation indoors with other dogs. Plus even though this is not a rally obedience-specific class, we do practice a lot of rally moves like the circle turns, finishes in both directions, and about turns of all three styles. This was not one of her best-working sessions, but it wasn’t terrible either.
Tomorrow’s trial is at a facility we’ve trained at in the past, located very close to home. It will probably be pretty small unless they get a ton of day-of-show entries. My van is already set up for a one-dog show trip (as in crate, extra folding crate, crate covers for different weather conditions, towels and blankets) and all I should need in the morning is dog, leashes, water and treats.
Best case: we get a new title with placements. Worst case: we fail, but I am right there to turn in a pre-entry for the trials on December 5-6!
