 |  |  |  | Hi, I'm Kim and I have 2 Rally dogs, Asher and Demon.
We do APDT Rally and train under a Level I, II, and III judge.
Ash got his RLI the first weekend in September and his RLII over Thanksgiving weekend. We are working on his IX, is IIX and his ARCH and start Rally III classes in January.
At this point, he already has a box full of placement ribbons, all blue and red.
So far, Demon has just done some fun matches, but we are hoping to trial him in the spring.
Training under a judge helps on several fronts. She has a pole barn and hosts fun matches every other weekend in warm weather. For 5 dollars, you can treat, train or trial and she will critique your run just as if it was a real trial if you choose.
It is also helpful stratigically. She uses real trial course and can show you helpful tips if you encounter certain exercise combiations on the course, like how to handle married signs.
She plans on olding a trial at her facility in May with Laure Williams as the second judge and I will be trialing Ash, Demon and also working the trial in some capacity (timekeeper, ring stewert ect).
Rally on! |  |  |  |  |
