Woodie:

Sunfire Tydavent’s Mr Woods Am CDX, RA, NA, Can CDX, TD

In July Woodie and I traveled to Fredericton New Brunswick
to try our hand (or paw) at a Canadian UD. On Saturday
and Sunday we qualified with first place finishes and
earned a special award for the highest scoring utility
team for the weekend. Woodie now has 2 legs of the 3
he needs to earn his Canadian CD.

We Did it—Finally. Woodie earned his Utility Dog (UD)
title at the York Kennel Club Trial in May. He earned
his third leg on Saturday with a first place finish and
on Sunday he earned a bumper leg with another first
place finish. Phew. I am so proud of him for sticking
with me (it isn’t easy when the lady you live with
stresses at shows but he took it in stride).

Kathy - Saturday Oct. 14 Woodie qualified in Rally Novice with a first place finish to earn his third & final leg toward his Rally Novice tile. 

On Sunday Oct. 15th Woodie moved up to Advanced Rally and earned his first advanced leg with a second place finish. 

Woodie is now Sunfire Tydavent's Mr Woods Am CDX, NA, RN Can CDX, TD - he has earned titles in 4 different dog sports: obedience, agility, tracking and rally.  I believe this is an excellent example of how using the operant conditioning (aka clicker training) communication system transcends the various sports and allows the dog to easily move from one dog sport to the next with ease.
