OBEDIENCE
Obedience is my first dog sport. It is still my favorite. Although my handling skills are not excellent, my dogs have carried our team to many HITs, HC, HIT Aussies (ASCA), All Star Invitational in 2006 &2007 (UKC), and Obedience Finals (ASCA).
For more information on obedience, check the links below. Rally is a great way for you to start obedience and build skills in both you and your dog. Check out local training classes and find the one that you feel comfortable with the methods used to train the dogs. If it doesn't make sense to you, how are you going to train the dog?
