Lars was my heart dog and who I learned so much from. He was super high drive and working him was like riding a lightning bolt. He excelled in competitive obedience and Lars was a dog that would never say no, I cannot do this. He said HELL YEAH every time we walked into an obedience ring. Lars earned multiple high in trials in different venues of obedience and his enthusiasm was absolutely a blast to work with. Rally was another sport Lars and I did quite a bit and he earned his RAE while he was learning Utility Obedience (Rally Master and the RACH wasn't a thing back then.) Lars did some agility but his drive was a little bit too much for the agility ring. LOL
I miss this dog so so much and I am forever grateful for what he taught me in dog training and to believe in myself and what I could do with dog sports.
