IPOC entered two teams in the 2007 Dog Obedience
Clubs of Florida (DOCOF) Trial September 1st & 2nd,
2007,
at the Orlando Central Florida Fairgrounds. Teams 1
and 2 placed 1st and 5th respectively, out of 49
teams.
DOCOF is a difficult place to do well in
obedience. There were 376 dogs entered.
With that many dogs and people in a building, there
are many, many distractions. There are people
cheering for their team members and walking between
the 7 different rings. It is very difficult to
practice for that type of environment. We had
practice on Tuesday nights, some on Saturday and
Sundays and Run Thrus on Thursdays. Everyone
worked really hard and it paid off Big Time!
A
team picture will be coming soon.
