INTERMEDIATE OBEDIENCE: RALLY – CLASS 3 OF 5 – 11.21.2010

Just like last week’s Nose Work class, we missed class 2 of Intermediate Obedience: Rally to go see Roger Waters in concert on November 14th, thanks to some last minute tickets that were given to us by a good friend.  Thanks, Lewis!

Even though we missed the 2nd class, Orso did not seem to have fallen behind at all.  He has such a great food drive that he will do anything for a few high value treats!  I like to work off-leash with him, so I pretty much took the leash off of him for most of the class.  We worked on keeping his heel nice and tight against my leg and focused on preventing him from swinging out with his hind end at the halt.  We went through a rally course that Dee had set up with official Rally cones & signs (go Dee!!) a few times and Orso rocked it each time!  That’s my boy!  Again, I was there alone with him so there aren’t any photos from tonight’s class. 

After class, we went to celebrate Thanksgiving early.  Since my parents are gone for Thanksgiving, my sister (Yvette) and her boyfriend (Mike) hosted a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner and kindly allowed Orso to come along to spend Thanksgiving dinner with his family.  Thanks, Mike and Yvette, for inviting Orso!
