In both you are also encouraged to praise your dog while they're working. Perfect venues for getting a new dog a positive ring experience or for reinforcing hard exercises in the ring. This was Lance's 1st straight go out and I was able to reward it!<br /><br />Most of the exercises are the same in CDSP as to AKC but there are some differences such as the go out in the open class and the elimination of group stays. Scoring is not quite as rigorous so I like the venue more as a stepping stone for getting ready for AKC obedience. APDT rally is actually harder than AKC rally though, minus the treats.Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-3793869128433043052011-04-21T13:11:10.619-05:002011-04-21T13:11:10.619-05:00Are you giving treats in the ring?

I have never seen CDSP or APDT obedience so it's fun to watch. though I think some of your videos are blocked at my work, you got nakid dogs on those?

He really looked like he was enjoying himself -- the attitude we love from our dogs in the ring.
