So for my goals for last year, we DID get our RA and one leg toward our RE

. We also did some agility training and a fun trial, and I got to see my first trial ever last year but did not participate (just volunteered!). I didn't get a puppy either, nor will I be getting one until probably another year or two..

Oh well. A good dog is worth waiting for right?
So with that said, here are our
Goals for 2012:-Finish the RE, possibly this Spring.
-If we Finish the RE, we will be going into CD territory by Fall.
-Re-try the RPT. Should we get it, I will be deciding on whether I'm gonna start training for CDX or just leave it. The retrieve is the only thing keeping me on the fence. We will see how that goes.
-Continue training in agility, mainly working on handling and focus work. I am not going to get very far with Riley in agility sadly due to funds and a lack of trials around where I live. I'm hoping to attend one with him this year to see how we do.. but agility will mostly be reserved for fun for him and a learning experience for me when I finally get my new puppy.
-Continue working on recalls. We are getting there, but it is definitely not solid and that is what I'm aiming for.
-Finally get around to teaching him NOT to bark at the door. It's something I've always been too lazy to do, but in preparation for another dog, I can't have three dogs going crazy whenever they hear a twig snap or a car door close.
-Tricks. I am the LAZIEST trick trainer ever. My goal is to train at least five new tricks this year.. haven't decided what they are yet.
