Fourth RAE Leg

I took the Get Focused class in the fall and have been employing everything I learned since. Today, I really noticed a huge change in my dog's ring performance. We were somewhere completely new this time. She's a fearful and dog reactive dog who is often overwhelmed in new locations. We've always struggled with focus which, given her fearfulness, is not surprising. Today she was GREAT! I know it's not the most beautiful run ever but this is the best I've seen out of my girlie in the rally ring and I'm SO proud of her. We also got compliments about how happy she was in the ring (this happens frequently). Still a lot of work to do but she's already so much better at focusing than she was just 6 months ago. emoticon

There is hope! She got great scores (93 in Excellent and 92 in Advanced) and took home her fourth leg towards her RAE.
