Marlowe, just saw this. Whoo-hoo!!! Great job!!! And your first ribbon of many to come!

More important, did the two of you have fun?

Edited to ask : APDT or AKC?

Thanks for the support! I think I'm still glowing, 4 days later, bol.

Asher, we did actually have fun. Marlowe's always been anxious around other dogs, so the show environment is pretty stressful for him, but he did so much better this time than he has in the past. No panting, no drooling, and no *ahem* "lipstick" moments like he's had at other shows. We're both getting much more relaxed, and Marlowe even plopped down on the floor this time with other dogs walking within feet of him. So, I'm not sure how much "fun" he had, but the fact that he's getting more comfortable makes it more likely he'll think it's fun in the future. Baby steps.

way to go

Oh, and it was AKC rally. I haven't even seen APDT advertised around here, but I've really only looked at AKC and UKC so far.

Check APDT. Laurie Williams Pup 'N Iron should be close to you and they have regular trials there in a nice environment.

What a wonderful end to your dilemma! I'm so glad it worked out for you this time! We're going to take a 4 week Rally class next month, and I am debating starting Micah with a Rally competition to see how he'll handle the competition setting- your boy reminds me of Micah in our class. He's the class clown and wants to play SOO badly.
