Description

Twyla, my formerly feral dog, earned her Rally Obedience Level 1 title on December 10, 2016. It's been rough waters for her trying to tame her fears. But finally, she is able to get out in front of a crowd of strangers and not freak out. She generally prefers walking under my rollator to next to me. But she exceeded my expectations at 3 Rally-O trials to gain a title! What a long long way she has come! WINNER (2nd place) and JACKPOT JANUARY 2021
