ORSO SCORES 86 POINTS AT HIS SECOND AKC RALLY NOVICE TRIAL! – 07.17.2011

Today, Orso and I competed in our second AKC Rally Novice Trial, held by the Jupiter-Tequesta Dog Club in West Palm Beach, and earned a qualifying score of 86 points under Judge Mrs. Carol Ann Klein!  We need one more qualifying score for Orso to be able to use the AKC Rally Novice title of “RN” behind his name!  It REALLY sucks that there aren’t any local Rally shows until December, grrrrrrr, especially since Mary worked so hard to get him ready and I am scared I will mess up all his training between now and then!  I guess this will give me plenty of time to work on my confidence in the Rally ring AND figure out how to motivate Orso so he looks a little more alive!
