So the results from London's very first WCRL Rally trial second day. A qualifying score 0f 206 points in Level 1a with a Third placement. Which earned her Level 1A title under judge Laurie Schlossnagle. She also qualified in Level 1b with a score of 208 points. A Sixth placement in a tough field of competitors (I didn't dream she would place) under judge Phyllis Huber. Once again many thanks to both judges for having great courses. I especially want to thank Bonnie for all of her hard work as trial chairperson. You and your wonderful trial committee (all the helpers too) made Covid disappear for a glorious weekend of fun with our dogs!!! Thanks to my friend and instructor Pat Warnick who gifted London her magical collar for showing in. The magic of love was with her this weekend!!!

Thank you everyone!! We had a wonderful weekend seeing many friends who we have missed during Covid. London worked happy which is the most important thing. She preferred the toy she got over the ribbons (although she tried to eat one of the placement ribbons when they were handed out lol,) I loved spending time with her. We still have a lot to learn but the journey is the joy. The tests are just to see how we are progressing. I am so very blessed to have wonderful positive reinforcement instructors and the support of a wonderful husband!!

Congratulations! You both did really well. I've always wanted to do rally, and people like you and your dog inspire me. London looks very pretty and proud of herself!

Go for it and enjoy the journey. I love WCRL Rally because you are able to reward/treat at stationary signs. You are also allowed to talk to and praise your dog while doing the course. In fact you are encouraged to!!! Where are you located? We are in Pittsburgh PA.

That's what makes me want to do it, and it seems like such a bonding opportunity.. I'm in San Antonio, TX, my local breed club does trials sometimes.

That's exciting!!! Start your journey together you will never regret it!!!
