In the end of August we went with Minnie to participate in an unofficial rally obedience competition in Harmi. Judge was Aet Leemet.
We went to try out RO class 2, because lets be honest, Minnie doesn't have a lot of obedience experience (once in unofficial RO1 and once in official RO1 class). My goal was, firstly to see how she will be without the leash and, secondly to do longer course without the treat in the hand. Very good was the option still to give treats.
First course. She had good mood and she was focused on me. In the end of 5th sign I guess i was too confusing and she offered stand and then down position...maybe she was in disbelief that there is 5 "sits" in a row :D. Anyway that meant -10p. We got also some minuses from 9th sign (270 to left). Im not sure why, she sniffed (-1) and then -4 from the turn itself...maybe it was slow and too big turn? End result was 84p.
Second course. I was quite nervous about 4 signs on the course: the temptation eight, run, stand and stay and turn with waiting. But I was determined that I will not use leash or treats to help her to see how she will be. instead I thought that it will be a good idea to play a bit more than usually and also just before the start, so that she wants to be with me and not go after the toys. The result was that she was super eager :) And as soon we started she offered down as much as possible :D. So she did it in start (-10p), the second sign was sit and down - she did super fast down again (-10p), then second sign was perfect but third one was sit-stand-sit, and she shed fast down again :D (-10p). Good thing was that she was not interested in toys and she was very good in the run. As well as all the waiting parts. We just got -3 from last but one sign (did I made too long of a break..maybe so). But overall she was super good! Thanks to the 3x-10 we got only 67p, but I was very happy!
