Last Sunday we attended a Fun Match in Auburn at the beautiful Argos Ranch for Dogs. It was our
opportunity to try out a variety of fun
doggie activities. Our 1st event of the day was a Rally course. The course had 16 numbered cones you navigate
thru and perform the obedience activity listed.
Danzig pays close attention to the instructions given.
The course had a variety of obedience and navigational
maneuvers. Cone 3 had you place you dog in a down while you circle around him. Nice stay!
Here
Danzig leaps over a small jump while the handler (that's me) stays to the side. Rally was so much fun and everyone said
Danzig was a natural. We will
definitely try this again.
Next we headed to the Lure course. The lure is just some plastic sprayed with an
attractant, it's connected to a wire and you want your dog to chase it is fast as he can. Here my friend and helper Ruth takes
Danzig and the lure to the back of the field. Here's how it should work...When she releases
Danzig the lure operator will real in the lure and
Danzig will chase. The catcher would then grab him at the end. Well let's just say
Danzig wasn't much for chasing some plastic. I think he was too smart to fall for that. He had way more fun running around the field while we chased him! He did finally get a good chase in on his 4
th and final run.
Ruth was a great helper all day. She's like
Danzig's godmother, I know she's there if he needs her. She's currently
dogless and came along to get her
doggie fix in. She fell in love with the
whippets. A local
whippet club hosted the Lure course so there were
plenty of them to play with.
