Who says Wolfhounds (or goats!) can't do Obedience?!!
A message from a student:
Hi Karin
You'd be so proud of Cali - we had a rally demo last Monday at our Mid-Canada Irish Wolfhound Club show in Thunder Bay and my breeder of course volunteered Cali and I to participate. A real deal CARO Novice course was set up with 20 stations, and Cali did it perfectly and off leash to everybody's enjoyment, outperforming even the trainer's Golden Retriever which was a bit distracted by the outdoor setting. I'll send you pix when I get them.

You'd be also proud of me - I was "volunteered" for "So you think you're a handler, eh?" competition, and my "surprise" to handle was a goat! Luckily, my goat was very food motivated so between using goat bait and implementing rally training tips and tricks, the goat and I did just fine... :)

Cheers,
Ewa


Storm was smokin' in Frankenmuth MI May 29 and 30, 2010. She was 1st in Extreme Vertical with a jump of 7' (pictured) and 2nd in Big Air and Speed Retrieve for a final Iron Dog placing of 2nd.
