I got this idea off another dog forum, it's a fun place to keep track of training goals and see what we can all achieve over the year! Goals in any sports are welcome!





My training wish list:

Number 1- Finally get my own dog (been at least 3 years in the making!) and start working on a really great sports foundation. Would love to compete in at least one sport (rally perhaps!) by the end of the year with my own dog!

Mojo (the giant Schnauzer)
- Have the first agility titled Giant in NZ!
- JD title
- AD title
- See if I can sort myself out and give rally a try.

No. 1: Get a dog.

We'll start there.. I want to start rally/training as soon as they're able, though. I'd love to compete in other venues, but even one venue would be enough for me. I can't wait.

#1. Would like Emily to finish her Rally Excellent Title. (Two more legs left)

#2. Get a CD with her.

#3. Maybe start Tracking with her. She is having SO much fun in Nosework classes.

Lillie's Mom

- Pass TDI evaluation
- Start training for rally & obedience
- RN title
- BN title
- CD title would be a dream
- Possibly start tracking since Lillie thinks she's a bloodhound

Get Elka's Intermediate Trick Dog Title (or Advanced, if I bag ITD before the year is out. We're close!)

Get more reliable behaviors: loose leash, heel, attention, stay etc. Elka has a lot of "half learned" stuff, nothing that she's absolutely all the time 100% on (except for some fun tricks. She'll pretty much always "spin" or "testify")

Wouldn't mind finding a trainer to work with, and get some hours in training dogs that are not mine, to see if that's really my goal or if I've just been fantasizing.

2012 Goals for Maiya:
- K9 Nose Work - ORT and enter trial for NW1
- Get certified for trial for TD. If/when certified, cross my fingers that I can win a trial lotto. I hear it isn't easy to get a spot.
- WAE (?)
- Enter at least one or two rally trials

For the puppy.
- start Rally classes
- start Nose Work training
- AKC S.T.A.R. puppy
- CGC test

Most important: More RELIABLE Recall training

honestly, my training wish list is for my students - I want them all to have Obed scores over 190 and Rally scores over 95.
Gracie is retired now unless we pursue Tracking, if her body allows it.

My goals aren't nearly as impressive as the rest of yours, but I'll share them anyways:

I want to continue to rehabilitate Stella and work with her through her fear aggression in hopes that she can find a perfect forever home to live out the rest of her life. We've come so far together in our modification training, but I would really like to see her comfortable and calm in all situations.

My ultimate goal, if I have her this long, is to be able to take her to rescue events and represent all the dogs that are dumped because of behavioral issues and prove to people that with time, patience, and understanding it's possible to have the perfect dog

I would also be very open to getting a CGC with her, but that's only a dream at the moment.

Bless you for what you're doing for and with this special dobe.

Well, now that we just got our BH title...

My goal for 2012 is to make progress toward a Schutzhund 1 title...maybe even get it by the end of next year?? A girl can dream, right? No big deal, we only have to teach three forced retrieves, a send out, a stand in motion, a protection routine, and be able to do a SchH 1 track.

This is a great thread!

Since Zeus is dog reactive and has bilateral hip dypslasia, our goals are a little "special":

1. Be ready and able to parallel walk with another dog on leash in various locations.
2. Be ready and able to walk around local resevior without any reactions/explosions where dogs MUST be leashed.
3. Be able to go to local dog park and parrallel walk the outside perimeter fence w/out any reactions/explosions.
4. Be able to attend a small "scenting" class without any reactions/explosions.
5. Be able to complete a Rally "run-through" course without any reactions/explosions.
6. Obtain his CGC.

Wow you have so many freakin titles I got lost reading all of them haha.

Since we were too lazy to do it this year, in the beginning of 2012 we will FINALLY be passing our BH. We just have so much fun training and doing bitework, perfecting every sit, down etc, we just didn't get around to actually go to the exam lol.

Start competing in BH.

Continue training for IPO, I am curious how the tracking will go, that is the biggest concern out of all three disciplines.. Fingers crossed.

If it will go well, get the IPO1.

Get another dog (maybe I should put this down for 2013 or 14..).

Oh, and of course the biggest wish.. Finally get a solid recall off cats. It is just unbelievable, her cat obsession, she is such a predator, I can't even believe it. So santa's e collar will be starting to help us reach our goal we'we been pursuing for the longest time.
