As some of you know, we have recently started training for a new type of doggy event – Heel work to music. It started with a bit of an obsession with tricks (which Brody excells at), and lead to some training with Michelle and Jan Corles out at Ardmore on a Thursday night.
Kelly and Brody\’s first HWTM routine
So we now have our first routine finished (have a look at the video), and our first competition this weekend….. I’m nervous!!!
We also had an obedience competition this weekend, Brody has been having some issues with attention in the ring for straight heelwork. And it was great – his heelwork was awesome! only 1/2 a point off for a lag at the start. If he didnt break his sit stay then we would have won!! We ended up third, which was wicked… and the prizes were actually pretty good (a cool lead, stainless steel feeding bowl, treats and a voucher!).
As I was randomly searching some doggie websites, I found that somehow (no idea how they got it!) a picture of Brody and I is posted on the National Dog Training association webpage about HWTM! Pretty cool!!!
