Tonight we got together with a group of other Rally nuts for a little practice session on a tennis court. Rowdy was terrible. Oh well. That's why we went. Dogs' learning is highly discriminating - and they are consequently very poor generalizers. That's why Sit in the kitchen will look so polished, and then Sit in the living room leaves your dog looking at you like, "Huh? What does 'Sit' mean here?"
But after a little refresher work, Rowdy stepped up to the plate and started doing better. Never at his best, we still were able to have a successful training session and a good time. The group is hoping to get together regularly, as we all need the incentive to get out to new places to train, and having other dogs around to distract each other - as at a show - is a big plus too.
Mike has been thoroughly enjoying a book he found about a dog. He finished it today, while we were out playing with dogs. This means I can read it next! yay! Tomorrow is chore day and we will both be busy all day - lawn mowing and laundry.
