First ever show... St. Edwards

On Saturday, I took Skye to her first ever show. I had no intention of working her (and indeed it was confirmed that she wouldn't have been ready), but we had a great time training and enjoying ourselves. I didn't expect miracles from her, she does get distracted much quicker than Jesse and puts less energy into things (unless it's agility and searching LOL), but she didn't do too bad. Her recalls and retrieves were actually quite ok and she did her stays nicely. So overall, I was very happy. Heelwork however is a very sore point... lots more work to be done on that.

I'll see how this season goes, perhaps get a session or two of private lessons from Kamal and then make a decision whether we persevere with obedience or whether I will concentrate more on agility and/or gundog work with her, which I know she would adore! We'll see...

On Sunday, I taught the spaniels something useful by getting them to search for my keys. LOL
