It was a thrilling moment when Jo earned her first CCD pass yesterday with Ilse, at the Lockyer Obedience Club trial. This was Jo’s first time back in the ring after an absence of nine years, and was Ilse’s first trial. It is an absolute joy to watch them work together, you can almost sense a mental telepathy happening between the two, such is Ilse’s response to Jo’s commands. I am so pleased for Jo, who has never let physical disability dishearten her from resolutely doing what she sets out to do.

  1. Hi Liss,

    Thanks for being there and taking the photos. It is really great to have gone through it and then be able to see it.

  2. Thanks for agreeing to let me come along and support you Jo, I know how nerve wracking it was. I was happy to be there and see how well you and Ilse work together.
