Hey guys! It's been a while, but thought I'd drop in again since I finally got a decent video of Rafe's schutzhund work.

It was basically just a "see where we all are" practice trial. The retreive over the jump obviously needs work (this was his first time over this particular jump, and the first time doing this exercise on the field - it had been a while since we'd practiced off the field too! So really, all my fault - I decided to not do the retrieve over the wall because I didn't want a repeat). His send away was also the first one on the field, and I was quite happy with it! He was slower than I'd like, but overall I was satisfied.
His protection work is good, just need some brush ups on obedience. His transport was the worst part, but I must say he does guard well. ;)
Soda was just doing her thing. I don't know that she'll ever make a SchH 1 dog, but its still fun to work with her. She has a horrible bite, and really wasn't ready for the green sleeve (we were brainstorming and, because she has such a small mouth, we though maybe the wedge in the green bite sleeve might incourage her to bite more full, but eh).
