Well, Saturday's routine started with 2 retrieves. However, the retrieval object (which could be anything) was a tennis ball. Right after the dog brought back the ball the first time, a decoy got out of a van parked about 10 feet from where you were with your dog. You had to throw the ball the 2nd time. Cy did both beautifully. In fact, it was a preview of what the rest of his routine was going to look like. Cy scored 88/100 which is a very good good score (in fact, it's "With Distinction").
So, first, we've got the retrieve, into the fast pace:
Then a motion exercise (leave your dog in a sit), change of positions, then a recall to heel with my back turned and running away:
There was another leave in motion, then a recall, then a send through a tunnel, then over a jump:
Figure 8 around the decoys, meet and greet (friendly) with a decoy, then a long recall:
Finally, the critique:
Video to come!!!!
