What Plum Crazy said, Jessie's Mom. There was an 11 year old spoo doing rally 3 at our trials on the weekend! Rally 3 has the jump in it and she had no problem. Of course, that would depend on the individual dog, but it's not too late for Jessie!

Rally1 (novice) has the sits, downs, sit-stand, sit-down-stand, but other than that, it is turns, circles, weaving etc. If Jessie has no problem sitting and getting up, I think you would be fine. It is sure a lot of fun and you really feel like you have accomplished something as a team when you finish.

Of course everyone in a while your pup decides it is more interesting to sniff the floor or visit the judge, or just cannot for the life of them remember what that word SIT means, so why does Mom keep saying it over and over???? LOL!!!

OMG!!! This was us at our last two practices Lucy is usually such a GOOD sitter - she sits with hand signals only most of the time. But at our last couple practices, I'd halt and ask her to sit with my signal. She looked at me like, "Huh??" Then I'd say, "SIT!" and she looked at me some more!! Uuugh!! Then, of course, both courses this weekend had the "Halt, 1-step/halt, 2-steps/halt, 3 steps/halt" sign!!! I was imagining a 5 minute run!! But she did fine with that when it counted!! They always surprise us, don't they??
