CWBC Obedience and Rally at Nationals

Judge's Score sheet for Novice

Brew (#339) and Bob (#337) competed in three obedience and rally events today. In Novice Obedience, Bob sniffed his way through the course and then on the recall he ran toward the gate only to be stopped by the stewards. In which Bob's reply was bahrooooo! He made it through the sit stay but not the down stay. He started whinning and the eventually got up and ran to Jo. So Bob NQ'd. Brew did awesome in his Novice Obedience until the recall in which he decided to run toward the gate instead of me. So we NQ'd too. Brew did great on the sit stay and down stay and didn't move even when Bob got up to run to Jo.

Next event, Beginning Obedience - Bob qualified and 2nd with a score of 191. Brew however NQ'd because of the recall again. However it might have been my fault this time. It looked like he was going to make a break for it again so I called him again and then moved but at least that resulted in him coming to me. Don't want to make a habit of this running toward the gate.

Third Event - Rally Advance for Brew and Rally Novice for Bob. Brew got a 1st (ok so there were only two of us in the class). This was our first time in advance which is off leash with a jump, some harder and more signs. I did lose his attention several times but I guess he did better than the other beagle. Bob got 4th in his group. Actually, Jo and Bob did awesome. Bob kept his attention on Jo the whole time but they lost 1 point for something and 10 points for incomplete of sign. We are not sure what happened since the camera card ran out of memory near the end of their run. The only thing we can think of is that either Bob didn't down all the way or Jo didn't stop - the sign was a Stop and Down.
