Here is Jaldi's first Standard run since retraining the teeter. I tried to do just what I've been doing in practice which is to stop just 1 step past the end of the teeter and wait for her. We were lucky that the teeter was the 2nd to last obstacle so that we could run out of the ring and have a celebration. She had a perfect teeter. I didn't ask for the bark because it was AKC. They are so picky. It might have gotten called as training. Her table was fabulous, too, and lots of people commented about it.

Lovely run!  I think your Dog walk and Frame are much faster....  and the teeter is super!

I don't think that AKC has any rules against a command like speak!!  Ask if you are not sure  .. just do it!!

Congratulations, Val!

I think it's safe to say that you and Jaldi got over the Teeter scare, ;-).. Perfect!

The whole run looks really good and you are working as a team and seem to have a good time. Jaldi has great attention and shows proficiency on all the obstacles.

P.S.: I agree with Elizabeth, AKC is not that evil.. No one is going to fault you if you ask your dog to bark. And if they do, what's the big deal? Just thank them, praise your dog and go write a letter to the Regional Agility Rep or straight to Sharon Anderson and express your point of view. You are paying for being in the ring.. you don't owe anyone to jeopardise your dog's good attitude and training standards.

Congrats again!
