Monday
Novice Exercise of the Week!

....." The principal features of this exercise are that the dog stays where left until called by its handler, and that the dog responds promptly to the handler’s command or signal to come."

....."On the judge’s order or signal, the handler will
either command or signal the dog to come. The dog must come directly, at a brisk trot or gallop and sit straight, centered in front of the handler. The dog must be close enough so the handler could touch its head without excessive bending, stretching, or moving either foot."

"Minor or substantial deductions will be made for
slow or poor sits, finishes which are not prompt or
smart, for touching the handler on coming in or while finishing, and for sitting between the  handler’s feet."

As always, "...it is essential that the dog demonstrate willingness and enjoyment of it's work"

Good Job, Zoey!
