PAX Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Huge Congratulations RubyStar :cool: :p , I added another three ready for Novice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Thanks My first title in anything with my first obedience dog We had one bomb (in the sit stay), followed by a 3rd place, 2nd place, then 1st place today :cool: Even though she got her title and has placed each time, I'm not all that pleased with the scores and stuff so it's back to the drawing board on how to tackle Novice, which I'm not going to rush as it would be nice to actually get some scores to be proud of! We are already entered in another 2 CCD trials so I think we'll just do them anyway! Could use the practice :p I added another three ready for Novice. Not sure what that means!

I saw your heeling this morning and I have to say WOW Ruby has improved a lot - you can see you have been working on it - she certainly didn't lag and she wagged her tail around the ring - it was pretty to watch. I then held my breath for the SFE and not a problem in the world. You should be proud of your girl and its not been an easy week for you. I hope you have emailed Deb the vet to let her know your good news. On to novice you go...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAX Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 RubyStar, you must of been good to get a pass, don't sell yourself short. We all get better as we go along with the help of great training friends. The three extra means, the first passes are the hardest. so here is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then held my breath for the SFE and not a problem in the world. You should be proud of your girl and its not been an easy week for you. I hope you have emailed Deb the vet to let her know your good news. On to novice you go...... I didn't know we were being watched Her heelwork started off nicely, but then I lost her attention at the left about turn and I stumbled on my stupid sore foot as we went round so it went downhill from there! Her heelwork in the arvo was MUCH better than the morning trial, she only went wide in the figure 8 once and didn't miss any positions and stayed with me, yet our score only improved by 3 - goes to show you just how differently judges judge! I'd say her afternoon heeling was one of the best we've had in the ring, which is surprising being 2 trials in a row and man was it getting HOT out there!! Today was the day for recall problems galore, something she's never had a problem with besides a slightly crooked front which I'm always working on but never seeing any improvement. Back to training that one and adding more distractions! How did you go today? How many of your kids were in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wow!! Congrats RubyStar. That's fantastic! Do you have a video? Nope First time I haven't been able to get video. I didn't think it was fair to ask my mum to come along for an all day trial just so I could be filmed. I did ask 2 others but their Novice stays were on around the time I went in, oh well! I actually would love to have compared both her heelwork rounds and see the difference that I felt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsu chan Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Congrats Rubystar that's fantastic! It's tempting to pick the scores apart and think well we could have done better, but don't just enjoy it. You'll never have a first title with your first dog ever again so go wallow in it. Congrats for Ness too! This is the dog you were going to retire last year right? You must be feeling so much better now. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 she certainly didn't lag and she wagged her tail around the ring - it was pretty to watch. Really? Glad to hear that cos when you can't look at them you really have no idea how the whole thing is going down, even when you're right there! I know she doesn't look at me much in the ring which is all I've been trying to work with her on lately, but did she pay me any attention and look at me? I wish you could have seen the second round for comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying it as much as I can - I've been on the lounge all arvo/evening buggered as all hell after being in the sun all day, with a headache Ruby is dead to the world, too, she only moved for dinner!

RubyStar Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Just to completely flood this thread with posts from me tonight I have a question: Our certificate today had a different owner's name on it! I didn't discover it til I was on the way home. It had Ruby's name, my name as the handler, but then someone else's name as the owner! Is this going to cause issues when submitting for her title? Should I contact the club and get it altered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilBailey Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) I love reading this thread and seeing how well everyone is doing. I can add my own now. Flea got her First novice Jumping Pass. We have been so close so many times with just a knocked bar or somthing. now we have done it. Woo Hoo ETA: Ruby is the owners name a mistake or is she registered in some one elses name? I think you should get it fixed up ASAP what ever the matter is. Edited May 6, 2009 by LilBailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
