@tab289 The nice thing about Rally O (compared to formal obedience) is that you can talk to and make noises etc to your dog all you want! As long as you don't repeat the cue but in some you are allowed to try to repeat the whole station with only minor deductions. Some kinds (CARO, ADPT I think) also allow treats on the person and can be given when the dog is stationary (sit or down).

Nice video and instruction. Nice working dog (and handler). Thanks for doing the videos

That was great! Are there any restrictions on talking to your dog between stations?

@buddbb The second run was two days later. The handler was much more relaxed, as was everyone else around them. She really focussed on keeping the loose leash so the dog didn't feel like it was being corrected.

I find that having a little starting ritual helps get the dog focussed and ready to start. I start with a little heeling before we enter the ring and sit the dog before the judge greets us. Then I cue "Let's go" which is the dog's indication to start working. We don't do this for regular walks-nor do I expect heeling for a walk. Just a loose leash. Not sure what you mean by 'conduct'

I don't think you ever really know, but if your dog can focus in the level of distractions that you see at your typical trial environment (indoors or out), then it might be time to give it a try. Some local clubs host 'fun match' trials (simulated the trials environment incl a judge in the ring) and those are well worth entering just to see if your dog is ready. Jessie is ready for indoor trials but since we only have outdoor trials (on grass) locally, it will be longer before we enter one.

Hi! it is best to start with the dog's conduct glued to the foot, or not important?in the sense that for the dog may be confused as a walk?

@supernaturalbc2009 It also depends on what you like to do. Most people enter long before the dog is actually ready, but do it anyway just for the experience. Others use a trial as a measure of where the team is at. Others wait until the dog is more than ready and in many cases, they want to achieve high scores or placement.

very nice! How do you know if a dog is ready for trial?
