Adventures in Poodle training...

Our First Obedience Title

6/17/2013

It was a very competitive weekend... but only in the talent of so many teams - the atmosphere of course was all supportive and friendly.  This is your typical CDSP Obedience trial.  The exercises are similar to mainstream trials, but everything is much more relaxed and fun.  Praise is allowed in the ring, and even a treat between exercises.  The focus in CDSP is teamwork over absolute precision.  Obviously this makes for more happy dogs!
Monadnock Humane Society was our gracious host on June 16, and as our wonderful judges, Charlene Swainamer & Barb Burri.  Tripp held his own in both trials against stiff competition, earning a near-perfect score of 199 each time.  And both trials required a "run-off" (repeat the heeling pattern to break a tie) - trial 1 actually had a 4-way tie!  As I said, lots of great teams out there.  Tripp, as usual, got a little wacky in the run-offs, so we took lower placements - but 3rd & 4th place is still quite respectable.
More importantly, this finished Tripp's CD-C title - our first in the sport of obedience.  The next trial is a month away, where we will enter Open level.  There's still a lot of training left to do to prepare for that!  Time to get to work!
