Obedience Sequence
For this class, you will need to complete the following in the order listed :
Begin facing the direction of the camera :
Dog to Sit
Dog to Stay
Handler to walk forward five paces then stop, still facing away from the dog
Call dog to your side and pause for a count of two
Right Turn together
Walk five paces together
Both stop
Dog to Down
Dog to Stay [ in the Down ]
Handler to walk away for five paces then stop
Turn to face the dog
Pause for a count of three
Return to the dog - handler to then `about turn` next to the dog until facing the same direction together
Step forward three paces together
Left turn together [ so facing camera direction again ]
One pace forward together
Left Turn together
Step forward three paces together
Right turn to face camera
Dog to Sit
Pause for a count of three
Finish exercise and praise your dog
The camera operator or other helper
can
call out the sequence to the handler
Handlers may use food or a toy to help their dogs to focus if needed
The judge will be looking mostly for interaction / focus between handler and dog, and willingness from the dog to
try to do what is being asked rather than speed of compliance or neat/correct handler footwork etc - this is hopefully going to be fun for dog and handler to try the exercise, and is`nt meant to be like a Crufts Obedience Championship level of competition
Length of clip - as long as it takes to complete the sequence :smt001
