Lance Obedience- More Advanced Teamwork
Lance had a pretty busy weekend at our club's obedience trial.
Saturday we were entered in 3 things- Utility, Open, and Advanced Teamwork.
Utility:
Went amazing! Happy AND precise corgi! Only point lost other than fronts and finishes with a naughty mouthing of the glove on his front. Actually I thought he was really working his fronts and finishes and was shocked to see him lose points on several. Apparently I didn't see what she saw. Score was still good enough for 2nd place and 3 little more OTCH points to bring us up to 49! The run earned us his Obedience Master 2 title!
Open
Nice run but not quite as great in the precision. A little more forging in heeling and not quite as great fronts and finishes. Down first for stays which of course went well. Then on the long sit he lied down at the 1 min mark. *Sigh. Most frustrating problem ever.
Advanced Teamwork
I was excited to see the exercises posted for the class to be the most straightforward ones.
Heeling involved lots of slow time! Then more heeling for the glove seek back exercise. I wasn't sure Lance knew I dropped something as I didn't even see him flinch but he ran almost straight for it! Then on the scent object he dropped the little piggy on his return but then brought it nicely. The moving sit went well, but I did cheat slightly by turning my shoulders into him. The moving sit is certainly the hardest of the 3 options! Transition changes were oddly the same 3 changes done twice: stand-sit-down-stand-sit-down. The first down to stand I forgot to say his name before the command and he just sat until I repeated my cue. The 2nd time around I remembered to say his name and he did if fine. So our only O point exercise!
