As a first time dog handler having to learn all three phases of the sport, the countless hours in training, constant planning, troubleshooting, and life sacrifices, this team finally hit the field and put it all together.
Mj showed up calm and collected and put up a pretty nice performance handling her dog.
One major handler error in tracking which was costly and I’m sure will never happen again.
The emotion was still there in tracking, obedience, and especially protection which is what I wanted to see.
This trial allowed us to see the things that we need to work on and sharpen but over all I’m proud to see the fruits of our efforts.
MJ walked away with High in Trial, High Tracking, High Obedience, High Protection, and Helpers Choice!
Even if the process seems long and tedious, you must trust it!
Congratulations to MJ and Mia!
