On Saturday our obedience trainer ran a fun match day for all her students. It wasn't official or anything, it was just to give everyone a taste of what it's like.
They had:
- Obedience (heel-work, call to front thing, 30 second sit-stay and 1 min down-stay)
- Rally-o (just an easy course)
- Agility (easy - four low jumps (didn't even have any bars on them), a tire jump, a tunnel and a wobble board)
- Fastest recall
- Flyball
I didn't end up taking any pictures myself because Holly competed in everything and in between that I had to take her out for breaks, but here are some pictures that the "professional" took (I don't think they are that good and wont be buying them, but you can see them with the logo on them, except the ones that I cropped so it just has Holly in it).
Here's Holly waiting to start the heelwork (the leash is attached to her collar, we had to use leashes and have to use collars, not the harness):
Here's her doing the heelwork:
Agility:
and flyball (she did actually manage to catch the ball when it came back down ):
We had a great day and Holly got 94/100 for Rally-o (she got distracted once and I made some mistakes)
And she got 47/50 for obedience (she didn't quite sit straight for the call to front thing (but she is normally very good at it) and I can't remember what else was wrong).
Overall she did very well considering it was the first time she has done stuff in front of so many distractions and without treats and was very good even when she started to get tired towards the end of the day .
