Training & Show N Goes

I'm thinking of retiring Jasper from shows and I haven't entered him in any show n goes. He's now 10. He physically is fine. We started training Utility last August. I'm afraid that by the time he's ready to show that he won't be physically able to show. I'll kept training him since he likes to train but my main focus is training Sidney.

I've been taking Sidney to Show N Goes where we do a run thru in open and utility. I have not yet shown him. My coach said to show him in rally first then obedience. In Rally you can praise during your run thru while in obedience you can only praise in between exercises. So I need to start teaching the rally exercises.

Sidney is fun to train and take to show n goes. He is up beat and a happy worker. I've been getting compliments on Sidney at show n goes. I can't wait to start showing him.
