A busy Saturday

The weekend was as usual too short but still very nice!

Sophie says "it was a busy saturday, so I had to nap afterward!

 Saturday we had our last obedience class for 2 months. It wasn't our best class. Something must have smelled particularly yummy because her nose was up in the air sniffing a majority of the class. And holding her down stay was hard. But she did pretty well on her stand for exam (the wiggles were to a minimum).

We will be switching into Rally class starting with the January session because our agility class schedule changed and we can no longer make our Adv II (Novice/Open) class :-\ I am not too thrilled by this because I like our current instructor but it was either make the change or drop agility.

Agility went well, we had a substitute and Sophie loves her.We actually are taking some semi private lessons with her which is going to be so useful! We worked front crosses and serpentine, all of which I really need to work on. I also need to remember courses better. :-)

After agility, my training partner mentioned she was going to a Hike a Bulls' hike. I have wanted to go for months now but something always got in the way. Luckily, they still had a few spots open and I was able to sign up.

Off we went on a 3 mile hike. I loved it! Sophie goes on a lot of hikes, but always with dogs she knows. HikeABulls gives us the opportunity to check out new hikes and walk with new dogs in a controlled environment. There is no face to face greetings, you start off with lots of distance and can adjust as your dog gets comfortable.

Sophie did well, no reactivity (could also be she was tired but I will take the positive experience :-) ). But we walked next to an elderbull named Kelly and Zainey (agility friend).

Made it back to the car right as it start raining. I am hoping we get to join more walks in the future.
