Rally Class Day!

Today is Booger's 1st Rally Class since his 2nd rally trial meltdown.

See owner anticipate boog's escape .....

See Lexi be bonker for bonkers! 

(We had to roll new ones because she thinks they're chew toys!)

See the Boog's phenomenal warm-up in vacant ring. (WITH TREATS, of course).

See a pug almost surpass a Golden with sits, fronts, and downs faster than the speed of light!

The boog was amazing.

See boog enter the rally ring (with NO treats.)

See pug start to lag.

See Bob ready with "bonkers" to throw at the boog lest there are any unexpected dramatic exits.

See Boog decide to leave ring.

See Bob throw bonkers at boog.

See the poor boog's tail go down.

See Boog learn that leaving the ring without permission is naughty!

See Boog look for a loop hole.

See the Boog sneak along the ring gate while owner/handler tries to untangle the ridiculous string to "reel him in."

See the Boog stealthily sneak through (literally, THROUGH) one of the holes in the ring gate.

Yes! The Boog found the loop "hole"!

See owner start to laugh hysterically.

See Boog look incredulously at his owner and say, "What did you expect? I am smarter than all of you. I bet you never saw THAT one coming!"

See owner become fed up with bonking the boog.

See BOTC (Birmingham Obedience Training Club) teacher, Bob Baker, suggest another plan.

See Boog get treats. See owner learn to "treat" the fade-out correctly. (Fading out the leash plus treats was just too fast for the poor owner. Boog, however, was just fine, as he always found a way to treat each situation until he got his treats!)

See Sebastian have fun again.

See Sebastian enjoy Rally.

See owner decide to more randomly treat the boog.

See the Sebastian pug become a gambler.

See Sebastian pug go to Vegas.

See Bob and Boog's brilliant run of the rally course at the end of class. (A COMPLETE transformation from the boog's tail-down, 3 foot lag and loop-hole fence crawler at the beginning of class).

See owner decide that rally will ONLY be fun. No more bonking the boog.

See Boog get one final training session after class, lest his only positive experience be with teacher Bob. Boog is learning to look at knee, not handler's eyes, when heeling.

Smile little pug, smile!
