Blue-Ribbon Bonzi!

Redbush entered Bonzi in a Rally Obedience competition on the weekend.  Their team won three blue ribbons.  One of the trials gave Bonzi a second out of 8 dogs.  Bonzi now has moved up to the next level, and has won a leg(one out of three) in the advanced level.  It made Redbush proud of how well Bonzi worked even though she was a nervous wreck and of course he could feel it.   She is taking him to a seminar this weekend, and is hoping the judge will have some suggestions for her on things that she is trying to work on with him as well as how to get Redbush to relax more for these trials!  She has posted a picture of him reluctantly holding his prizes.  She hopes you have a great weekend!

Congratulations Bonzi, and you, too, Redbush!
Hopefully the judge will give you some tips to help you relax!

Oh congrats. What a beautiful dog!

Redbush said...

Bonzi thanks you, Leah! Have a great day!

Thanks for stopping, Colleen! Bonzi is a good boy. It's just myself that needs to learn how to handle being in the ring without pressure.

Thanks, Bag Lady! I'm sure you would be much more relaxed if it was you! I'm looking forward to seeing what the judge has to say.

Thanks, Hilary! He's a big goof, but, he seems to respond to Mr. Redbush more than me. He's the contractor boss!

Yay, Bonzi!
(I don't have any suggestions on _how_ to relax, but just remind yourself you have proof that he can do it.)

Thanks, Solarity! I know he can do it, too. He listens to my husband better than me, but, he ( my husband) won't go in the ring with him. He'd probably be top dog! Hehe! I'm the one that needs the relax-training! Still, he is growing up and really is catching on to his training quite well. Thanks for stopping!
