English Mastiffs, a breed rarely associated with obedience or rally, and did not begin training with competition as his goal. He wanted a well-mannered dog.
“ I began to have a house pet with good manners,” Parker says.
That foundation eventually led to higher level work. His current dog, Dickens, is pursuing a Rally Advanced Excellent title, which requires qualifying scores in both“ advanced” and“ excellent” classes at the same trial on 10 separate occasions. Still, Parker says the most meaningful outcomes show up away from the ring.
“ I get more compliments on my dogs’ manners than anything else,” he says.
Competition, Parker believes, simply reveals what already exists. To strengthen that foundation, Parker integrates training into daily life. Instead of feeding his dogs from a bowl, he delivered most of their daily calories during structured work.
“ Most of his calories came from me, out of my hand, while he was in the heel position,” Parker says.
For Clara Markham, that same emphasis on structure supports a different competitive path. She competes in rally and obedience with her Basset Hounds and avoids agility due to the breed’ s long backs. Her older dog, Juniper, now nearly 12, holds multiple rally and obedience titles and continues to compete enthusiastically. Her younger dog, Lily, earned her Novice Rally title in a single weekend
