Been at obedience training tonight and we've been given a new thing to work on. Distance control - down to sit and sit to down. I was all smug thinking, yeah, no probs, we can do this already....
....but apparently it's a no go for the dog to move their back legs. They're meant to sort of slide themselves back up to sit if that makes sense. One of the collies was used to demonstrate, but that dog can do it already so I was struggling to see quite how to stop Bracken using her back legs.
Can someone explain to me how to teach her to do this?
Also, what level of obedience is this required at, competition-wise?
