Jayda Earns Carting Title!!

Sunday, the Northwest Rottweiler Fanciers held a carting trial in Buckley. Jayda and I participated and qualified, earning her Carting Started title! For those that are not familiar with carting, the dog is hitched to a cart that is loaded with 40 pounds. A course is set up that includes right and left turns, 360's, weaving through cones, walking over a bridge, stopping, starting and going through a gate and a figure 8. The weather was cold but really nice. The course location could have been better. It was along a busy highway but the dogs did very well considering all the distractions. All the dogs in our practice group earned titles. It was a great day.
