Lay down in a group - 4 minutes with handler out of sight. A think Issa does well, when thinking about how big problems with had with a simple stay down in especially obedience class 1.

Sit in a group - 1 minute. No problemo :-) The grass was wet, so no danger for laying down.

Of leash :-)

also on the run - I'm PROUD of this, because it was another of our problems. Issa though it was sooooo boring. We got 18 of 20 points !!

Until this it was running so nicely, but then something happened, not sure what, but I think I must have given Issa a "wrong" command or signal. Haven't done is exactly as I use to. Well, and that made Issa come to me, instead of make a "stand" from a lay down, and she then got a 0 in that exercise. I got very surprised about it, and also a little sad. I tried to hide if for Issa, but didn't manage that very well, and that made her look like the photo about, and we got 3 more 0 in the next 3 things :-( Even one of our favourite, the "retrieve-jump" didn't work out.

Sadly we don't (yet) have any photo of the "call in with lay down"

Here is a "fake" down in the field. (the send away) This was one of the things in which we got a 0. Issa was sad, think she though I was angry with her.

Here Issa comes with the right "wood thing" from the Nose test. She has to find the wood thing which I have touched, between 5 other identical wood things I haven't touch. This is a thing that often doesn't work out while training, but she has never missed at a trial :-)

Here the "hero's of the day". Kali and Issa made "Danish History". It was the first time ever in Denmark that there was 2 ridgebacks in a obedience class 3 at the same time! I'm not totally sure if Kali was trying to tell Lene that the grass was to wet for his nice little "poo poo" :-)

Here I try out in make a nice "arrange photo" even with the judge Bruno. Lene is somewhere "under" Kali
