Our first time in the ring together was more of a trial and error, “work out the bugs” experience. (Yes, I was that guy; the one who trains their dog in the ring!) We got third out of four in our class. The ultimate end-result, we had a blast together and learned what we need to do to work better as a team. The second day, with a different collar, better lead placement, different speed, etc., I had his breeder take him into the class so I could watch what would make him look his best. When we went back in for the Winners class, we worked much better together. We were awarded Winners Dog for a 4-point major! The ultimate end results? We had a blast together and learned more about what we need to do to work better as a team. Am I thrilled with a 4-point major toward my puppy’s Championship? Of course! However, the joy I felt presenting my dog was amazing. It is the best of both worlds. I have a pet that I love to pieces, he is a beautiful specimen of the breed, and we can have fun in the ring together. Imagine how much fun we will have when I get him trained!

Apparently, the cleaning crews were on strike and the area was depending on private citizens to help clear the roads. As some said: Denny’s never looked so good!
