Disco wasn't the only star this past weekend at the SOTC trial. Tom was a SUPER STAR! Not only did he do well on Friday but he finished the weekend by winning the Utility B class with a 196.5 and Open B with a 198.5. He was High it trial and High Combined. We have our 3 first for his Otch, 16 points and 3 UDX legs. Not bad for his first time doing both classes.

One can never predict how a dog is going to turn out. Tom continues to floor me every day with his increased confidence and energy. Who would know that a year ago I was thinking he would never see the light of the ring. Have faith and believe in your dog and your work. It is a process that takes time and patience.

We did it! Disco UDX2, OM. Disco completed his Obedience Master title on Saturday at the SOTC Trial. He is now officially retired from the Obedience ring and onwards to Rally. I am so proud of this little guy at 11 1/2 years old. Still loving every step and every retrieve in the ring. Doing it the Disco way. "Disco UDX2, OM, RN, AX, OAJ almost ADCH"

The guys from Rick's Canine Workshop had an awesome day today at the Suffolk Obedience Trial. Mark Leibowitz and Finley took High in trial from Open B with a 199 and High Combine. Tom and I won the Utility B class with a 198 earning him 7 Otch points! We also took third in Open B with a 197.5 which gave Tom his first UDX leg and 30 Obedience Master points.

I am proud to announce The Charmed Ones Fix it Fool UD aka"Tom" We earned our third leg in the Utility B class. This is the first dog I have earned a Utility title with in 3 straight shows. He also took third place in Utility B on Sunday with his first Obedience trial Championship point and 9 Obedience Master Points! I am so proud of this little guy.

I am not one to brag about my week to week accomplishments with my dogs but this is for all of you who feel it can’t be done or you will never get there. Tom and I had a great weekend at the Staten Island trail. He debuted in Utility B and won a run off for first place and his first leg towards his Utility title. Sunday was equally as good with lots of confidence and enthusiasm. Our judge Bill Crag commented “ does Tom do anything slow?” I replied with oh yes he does. You should only know where he was a year ago. Last August I decided to give Tom a break and stop training him for the rest of the summer. His attitude towards training was lack luster despite my efforts to make it enjoyable. I felt it had to be his choice and he had to want to do this as much as I wanted.

After about 8 weeks of just being a dog he started to show me some extra attention which was something he didn’t usually do. He would put his head on my lap as if to say “hey dad can we do something?” I did a little bit here and there the next few weeks and waited for him to give me the green light.

Over the last 8 months his confidence and attitude continued to build. I took my time and let him be the directer of the journey with him earning his CD, CDX both with High in trial wins and finally his first time in the Utility B ring with 2 legs. One more to go in a few weeks and onwards and upwards. Be patient with your dog and give them what they need to grow and it will happen. I hope it does for all of you the way Tom has come along for me.
