    So I played around with the new exercises in class today with Cookie and Chloe (Sass wasn’t there). We did the Open A version with Cookie, just not at full distance because she’s never been asked...

    If you do, watch for their Finish signals ... those are the ones that are over the top!
  3. I haven’t seen that many handlers from the West...

    I haven’t seen that many handlers from the West Coast, only a few from the Midwest. I think it depends but I will say that some of the very TOP handlers around here (i.e. NOC winners) do use very...

    Honestly though, signals are one of the easiest things to teach. The trouble dogs have with it has nothing to do with the signal and everything to do with working at a distance, so if you are used...

    Yeah, I’ve honestly seen WAY more dog-on-dog incidents outside the ring than in, and all this will do will further encourage people to bring nasty untrained dogs to shows. I’ve been showing in...
  11. They finally came out with the proposed changes to Obedience

    Here’s the link to what was announced. Still need more details on what exactly some of this will look like.
    Personally, I’ve never had a problem with out of sight stays, but I guess there were...
