Obedience Competition - Remaining Exercises

Aurora’s first obedience competition - Sandehallen, April 25th 2009.

Here’s a summary of the last four exercises:

In the “Down after stop” I messed up, and we got 0 points :-(  we were a bit out of focus, the timing of the Down Command was wrong and the command was not very clear. So I made the mistake of repeating the Down Command, I didn’t know that this would automatically give us 0 points - now I know!

Next, the “Recall from sit”. Here we did pretty well! Aurora made an extra stop or two on the way - I think she was waiting for the “stand” command (we have been practicing that command too). We got 7 points for this one

In the “Stand” command I again had some problem timing the command. Aurora was walking a bit behind me, and I had to look back to see where she was. She moved 2-3 steps after the command was given and she sat down too soon - 6 points. We can do this exercise  much better!

Last exercise, the “Jump” command. I don’t quite know what to say about this one! She is very cute, though! And we got 5 points
