We got Kenya's CGC and are currently in a pet therapy training program. When we are done, we will be tested and can join the local therapy dog group (however in order to go to the childrens hospital, we have to take the Delta Society's test).
We have taken classes in agility and rally. We are starting a rally practice group tomorrow night and taking another class in January. Now that her registration to me is complete, we can compete at any time (we've done one AKC match). We'll continue with agility in the spring (all of the training is outdoors here and now is 20 degrees and snowing).
I want to get at least an RA in rally and am not sure about agility yet because I haven't decided which venues to compete in. Probably CPE for starters, since it's so relaxed and Kenya's breeder/trainer/previous owner hosts trials at her home/training facility.
I have a slight interest in finishing Kenya's UKC grand champion conformation title (she is U-CH and has two legs for the grand champ), but she was spayed, so I'd be cheating. Probably not!
I'm also interested in trialing in obedience, either UKC or AKC, I don't care. Right now I'm mainly focusing on agility because she is already 4 years old and I'm just starting (she is already trained and has her height card for AKC competition). We can dabble in more formal obedience later on.
