Meet Myst
Everything I do is FAST..... Some judges love to watch me since I am a little crazy in all the sports I do. I LOVE herding, have finished my obedience titles and now have so much fun with scent work. Of course running on trails is my very favorite sport. |

In 2019 I attended a few obedience shows and matches and was surprised and saddened to see how respected handlers are treating their dogs with harsh corrections in public. It makes me wonder what they do when training alone. Over the 12 years I have been involved in obedience I have seen so many dogs who start out as superstars, with many high in trials, and high scores only to show the results of this harsh treatment in training by getting lower and lower scores, failure to do exercises like scent articles or dropping the dumbbell or article before it is brought to their handler or becoming little lack luster robots. I have been very fortunate to meet and have as my mentor Laura Romanik who has guided me in a positive way to lovely obedience work and specifically heelwork. This video below was taken 1/11/20 of Beckett in Novice at a Show and Go preparing for his first AKC novice shows in a few weeks. Notice his happy tail, his focus and his joy in working with me as his team partner.
