ISSA
Issa for the first time in the advanced class. Biggest difference, this one is without leash
Here it already started to go "not so nice"
Here we just have been left around our self, and going on PASS the jump. The sign to jump over it first was from the other side.
Just landed after the jump. Jumping always makes Issa a little happy :-)
More yellow thingies to go around. The mean mean thing on the field was outside the photo to the right.
This is the exercise where you need to go first 1 - then 2 - and then 3 steps forward, and the dog to sit down right away.
Here we have stopped with front to the sign that's not behind us. And then have to turn 180 degrees left around, and the dog to move her a.. around and sit correct next to me again.
Here the MEAN thing. This exercise there is to bowls - with FOOOD. She isn't allowed to sniff at it, and must go though 2 times, while making a "8" around the 2 yellow things. Issa can do this, no problem. The problem was that Issa wanted to get to this, right from the start, and I had to tell her no several times. This very clearly made Issa sad, almost from the first exercise :-( Right now I'm not sure we will ever do a trial again, since I do this to make first of all Issa happy, and today she really didn't enjoy it.
Here we have to stop and she sit in right position (next to me left) then I must from standing without moving command her to sit in front of me. And then back again, left around, to sit correctly next to me. I was amazed she did this, since she had been told no so many times, and those "mean" food bowls still was very close. If they had just been placed in a corner of the field or so, instead of the middle, we might have gotten more points. I think Issa might also just be tired. This was the 3rd weekend in a row - and a lot training between, and maybe that just was to much for sweet old Issa, so now she can go on holiday - and relax over the summer
