my goals are varied - some are more concrete, and some are more topic/foundation based.
berlin
- continue with nosework: certify in all odors and get a NW1
- stay happy and healthy - id like a dog to make it to 6 without heart disease.
- consider coming out in preferred agility, or some other venues where she can jump lower
- resist putting her in a rally trial for her last RA leg because she hates it!
- LURE COURSE!
cherrybomb
- continue matching her at a variety of locations so that she has exposure to multiple places and multiple people.
- try to find multiple ring matches so she learns to work around db and jumping in other rings
- try to show her in matches under men - since there are still many male judges
- work on getting her heel position slightly closer to me.
- obtain a CD leg - just one.
- get one top 20 score (these last 2 may purely depend on my trainer - she will tell me when i am ready to show, so if its not til the end of the year i may not have many opportunities to do this
- work on db retrieve - she loves the db, but doesn't want to give it back to me. in an effort to avoid a repeat of the hell we went through with rah (who valued the db more than life itself and giving it to me was a problem)
- qualify for all star
- win high scoring rescue at my dobe clubs show (again, if my trainer says she is ready to show!)
- get her WAC and ATT
- LURE COURSE!
chill
- similar to cherry - continue matching in new locations, with new people.
- work on his issue with the db flying and other noises - he's a little reactive and we need to work on exposure and attention with distractions.
- work with his fronts - we are having "back end cannot line up with front end" issues so i need to increase front and rear end awareness with him.
- get a CD leg
- qualify for all star - my trainer would like his entire litter to qualify and show, we think it would be cool
- get his CGC
- LURE COURSE!
