I am VERY proud to announce that Merlin has just achieved his novice obedience title ('CD', in Australia), with two 3rd places amongst his three passes.

It wasn't all smooth sailing - we failed quite a few trials (mainly due to lack of focus) before deciding to take a break, come up with some new training techniques and let him grow up a bit.
