Yes, moving on either stay is an automatic NQ.<br /><br />Unfortunately, what you suggested is completely not allowed. Even during the individual exercises, if you do anything that remotely looks like training your dog in the ring, you will be excused immediately. Which really might be worth it depending on what your issue is, but with the group stays you have no option to do that since you would be distrubing all the other dogs.<br /><br />You can do that at fun matches though (of which there are maybe 1-2 a yr of around here) which are meant to resemble a trial. And you can do that at run throughs (which most clubs hold weekly but don't give you the same feeling of a trial). I have been going to as many run throughs as possible at different club and am always ready to go back in and correct, and sometimes reward Lance in the middle of it. But Lance hasn't yet broken his stays in any run through.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion though!!! Keep suggesting, even if you're not sure of what I am allowed to do :)Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-64687099028092295652009-11-10T07:38:50.926-06:002009-11-10T07:38:50.926-06:00If you don't care about placing in the trial a...If you don't care about placing in the trial and just want to use it as a training experience maybe you can let the judge know ahead of time what's going on and ask her to call you if he breaks, then correct him, put him back and try again. I know you'll get no score on the stay (will this DQ you?) but it may be your only option if he breaks again at a show. Good luck!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
