TRAINING GOALS 2012

I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A RECORD OF OUR TRAINING GOALS AND ALSO  TO HAVE A RECORD OF  HOW AND WHY THOSE GOALS CHANGE OR EVOLVE OVER TIME.So here we are at the end of 2011 and Lusi is now seven months old!

I would most like to achieve the following goals in 2012:

TRACKING To take the TD certification test.

CARRIAGE DRIVING 
To start Lusi working at axle once we have a sufficient basic obedience training established. I do not think that we can be ready for the Road Dog Trials in Tulsa in May, (Dalmatian Club of America) besides which the distance for shipping the horse and carriage would also make for quite a difficult/expensive trip. But we will start to prepare for the RD test in the hope of their being a closer venue for the test later on.




OBEDIENCE/AGILITY
To continue classes in both obedience and agility.
