We hosted a World Cynosport Rally (WCRL) trial last weekend. It was our first time ever hosting a 2 day trial – and it was easier than we expected!
I had all three dogs participate – Griffin did well but not our best, mostly because I was distracted. We broke our streak of 60+ qualifying scores in a row – but it was going to have to happen eventually! Tonks had a try but just wasn’t ready.
Viktor did reasonably well! He did a few puppy runs about a year ago – but this was his first time in level 1.
‘We had 4 passing scores and decent performances. This one was his poorest – he had a loooong sniff near the beginning and partway through.
I need to work on duration and work on calmer heeling – but his little howls are so adorable. He can’t walk and bay so he does tiny little stutter steps.
I do love his heeling. Griffin is constantly almost too far ahead or definitely too far ahead of me, but Viktor spends most of his time at the same exact place just behind me and moving very comfortably at my side. His funny legs give him a silly looking prance and it just seems easy for him to move with me.
Unfortunately we haven’t done enough to be ready for the obedience trial this weekend, but I’m looking forward to next year and what we’ll be able to do then.
