I entered Fable in our local Rally trial somewhat last minute and we didn't have a ton of time to prepare. Despite only having worked on specific Rally/Competition Obedience maneuvers for somewhere between 60-80minutes total prior to the trial. We did pretty well. We entered all four trials and to be entirely honest, I wasn't sure how well it would go. Saturday morning during Trial 1, Fable was a bit unconnected and we weren't as synced as we normally are. We placed 2nd in Novice B with a 91. Saturday afternoon went far better and we placed 2nd again with a score of 97. The next day during Trial 1 Fable won the Novice B class with a score of 99 to finish his Rally Novice title! I moved Fable up to intermediate for Trial 2, but he was pretty tired. We still qualified with a score of 88 after a fumble on a sign where I tried to keep Fable engaged over saving points. I'm so happy with how well he did. We will definitely try to go into our next Rally trial with a bit more practice though!
