After weeks of practicing individual exercises, Bryson is proud to show you in the video below his first attempt at a "full" course at his Rally O class this evening. Albeit a bit clumsy (mostly because of handler error), it was quite fun to watch.
The goal here is for the handler to correctly interpret the signs placed on the floor along the "course", and guide the dog to perform these tasks with them in harmonious unison.
Bryson gets it almost 100% of the time when we do our part right. The hard part is to get us to do our part 100% right. *sigh*
These are some of the signs we had to follow on this course:
Feel free to ignore the annoying commentary, some of them are useful advice from the instructor, but most are random conversation (and unhelpful correction doled out by me).
I don't know how Bryson does it, he can keep his neck craned for the whole hour during class like this. He probably needs (and deserves) a massage afterwards. Good boy!
