So, What's Gonna Happen?

Tomorrow is the Greater Kansas City Dog Training Club's Obedience trial in Gardner, KS. I'm impressed with the numbers - all the classes filled except Utility A and Open A - wow! A lot of the nonregular classes filled too. We came to the fun match tonight to set up crates and help run the rings and discovered lots of people are here for the first time - the Battigs, for instance. There is lots of talent here this weekend and while I'm slated to steward (when I'm not showing) in another building, I hope to sneak in and watch some great Obedience work this weekend. What fun!
Moto, Pinch and I have worked very hard. I'm really impressed with Moto and if he can just hold on to his self-confidence, I think he will turn in a medium-high performance in the Beginner Novice class. He is turning into my "steady Eddy" dog, someone I can always count on when other dogs falter. But we will see.
It's my belief I've entered Pinch way before his time. This is a dog who can be extremely flashy and high-drive. He's still too young, too green, and I haven't had enough opportunities to really proof him for the situation we will be in this weekend. It won't go badly in the negative terms, but he won't be competitive. His attitude is: "Cool! Look at all this fun stuff going on! Oh yeah, I need to look at you don't I? OK! Hey! Look over there...." and so on.
So here's my "goal" for this weekend:
I really, really hope Moto will do well. Well is defined by his being confident and enjoying his time in the ring. I sense he is finally maturing and coming into his own and while he'll never be a flashy dog, he is capable of being a consistent dog and doing some pretty nice work.
I would have loved to "wow" the judge with Pinch but it's just not going to happen. Not yet. So I hope he will try his best and that we have FUN in the ring. If he's just too silly I will pull him for the weekend as I don't want him learning any bad habits. I expect the occasional head drop, some crooked sits and his front not to be perfect, but as long as he is enjoying himself, then I'll keep him in.
Our Beginner Novice ring is in a separate building away from all the noise and excitement of all the rally and regular classes which is a perfect situation for green dogs. A good way to have a start, I say.
So, what's gonna happen?
