AKC Scent Work Trial - Novice Container, Exterior and Buried (Juneau)

[@ratgirl44]

There isn’t much out there on most dog trails. It’s intimidating not knowing what to expect. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for showing all the highs and lows from this trial. I feel like everyone is so quick to show the wins, but not so much the other feelings that dog sports brings and I relate to the creeping thought of not feeling worthy of being there sometimes. After all the time and money put into these things, it's easy to forget that we're in it for the fun and experience of it!

Thank you! I was hesitant to post this but I agree that most people on social media only show the highs. I want to always be honest and share that it's not always sunshine and rainbows haha

Don’t know if you still check comments on these but I want to say thank you for making these!! My dog had 4 qualifying runs and then was excused from an exterior search for peeing. I was so mortified and wanted to never trial again… glad I’m not the only one who has feelings of doubt 💙

@@melissat7084 I do! Juneau peed in one of our recent trials for the first time and I was shocked!! Haha it happens, you won't be the first or the last. Definitely don't let it discourage you 😊

I know how you feel when you hear the NO word and it’s hard to explain how that makes you feel. Lately I’ve been working on turning my negative thoughts into positive thoughts. It’s hard. Keep having fun with your doggy.

[@TheButlerK9s]

Thank you! It definitely takes work to turn those thoughts around but at the end of the day we're here to have fun with them!

We will entering our first AKC sent work ever this weekend. I only entered one trial as I wanted to see just how it would go, as she can get a little reactive if dogs get to close to us. Good info thank you

[@TheButlerK9s]

Enjoy yourself! It's a blast 😊
