GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
TOBY here...
TOBY here...
Hello there every-furry-buddy!
As many of you know, I attend
and on Thursday last week, we had our graduation evening for the
'Elementary Obedience' level.
There was a whole group of doggie candidates booked for their assessment, four of which were from my own class.
My own class has had a lot of fun together over the last 6 weeks and..
guess what?
We all passed!!!
WOOF!
This is the rosette which each of us received:
On our arrival, everyone seemed a litte nervous. Handlers and dogs were revising their various commands on the field. Maxmom also put me through my paces...
Eventually it was time to start our assessment. First we had to do a focus exercise for 30 seconds and then we had to demonstate that we know our 'Sit!' and 'Down!' commands.
Then each of us were assessed individually, and had to go through a course where the judge shouted out instructions to the handler. This meant that we had to show off my 'Heel!', 'Sit', 'Left turn', 'Right turn' and 'About turn' commands.
My photographer ('The Boss')was so nervous that he blurred my most important photo, BOL!
It was already dark by the time we'd all finished our assessments. Our judge then had to count out our scores and this was followed by the prize giving.
Nicki and 'TASMIN' came first in our group with a whopping
100%!!!
Congratulations and very, very well done, Nicki and Tasmin!
Another fellow classmate - MOLLY and her handler, Dale, also did very well!
Congratulations Molly and Dale!
Congratulations Molly and Dale!
Maxmom and I also got a prize:
We got 99.7% in our assessment!
Maxmom was very pleased with me!
Another classmate of mine - 'MAX' and Gail
also did very well!
Congratulations Max and Gail!

Congrats on your splendid showing in class! Hope you got lots of treats in celebration of your wonderful accomplishment!
Our momma loves the fact that in SA they don't whap off the tails of the spaniels. It is so furry sads to see the ones in the US wagging only their little stumps.
Lastly, uhm, momma would like to know if that last photo is of your guest bedroom!? If it is, she said she will need to hold her breath to get into it☺
Congrats Mr. Toby!! Well done!! You look sooo grown up!!
Toby - a rosette ! That is mega hip. Guess we'll learn why you've crawled into a blue box with a flap later this week.
Hey Toby, well done! Silly things decimal points, I think you can round up your score to 100%. Awesome!
Oh, Gail wants me to pass on congratulations to the "Max and Gail' team too. Her brother is called Max, so she feels that the names sound oddly familiar together!
We did have a chuckle at the picture of you and MaxMom in the crate. Did you tempt her in there with a treat?
Toodle pip!

Well done Toby. I hope Maxmom didn't try to pin your first rosette onto you!
Yipppeeeee congratulations Toby

Oh - congratulations, Toby!!! Your human must be SO proud of you! And how lovely that all your class passed together! I just LOVE the feeling of working together as a big team to master new challenges - it's why we still keep going to training classes whenever we can, even though Hsin-Yi can easily train me at home! :-)
