He Did It !!!

This morning, very very early, Amanda & Pixel, Sarah & Kaleb , Kim & Bosley & me & Kort, drove to Calgary for an obedience trial.
Kort was a super awesome boy & finished his CD with a score of 186, & a 4th place in Novice A !!!!!
To say I am proud would be an understatement....Kort & I have been through alot together and he is teaching me more then any collie I have had before him. He is also the youngest collie to get his CD that I have trained. He is 2.5 yrs old.
He was super on his heel on leash, he sat each time! His figure 8 was great as well, then the heel off leash :))
Let's just say Kort thought maybe it was time to lighten things up a bit, during the last quarter of the heel pattern he started tugging on my pant leg..like seriously tugging & pulling, I could have killed him but it was so funny I just had to laugh, what else can you do.
I am super lucky to have had Sarah tape it for me, can't wait to post it for everyone to see :))
His recall was nice & fast, although he thought maybe he should jump up on me before sitting, then of course he couldn't remember how to return to heel, even though we had just practiced.
Time for the dreaded sits & downs came, he had me slightly worried, he really liked the smell of the Chesapeake beside us & busily sniffed the air toward her.....on the downs the dachshund broke & I'm sure he was thinking, oh looky there, it's Perkins!!!, Then the chessie beside him broke & returned to her momma, all the while Kort was watching his lovely smelling girl walk away , but he stayed !!! Good boy!!
Can't wait to start my open training with him!

Here are a couple of pictures from after the trial......
