Chiquito graduated!!

From level 2 obedience

To pass he had to do:
- loose lead walking with distraction (other dogs for two passes and noise for two passes)
- walking at a heel (with a sit when I stop)
- a 'down stay' with no contact (at distance)
- a 'sit stay' with distraction
- a collar grab without backing away (both me and a trainer)
- some tricks/commands of my choosing - we did tunnel, on paw leave and 'marching' (which is left/right paw up in a sit).

Was a little distracted with the loose lead walking on his first pass but managed the other passes and did really well overall

Here's a few snaps of him doing his general little bits as we did a couple of practices before testing ...

Loose lead walking with distraction

Looks like I am about to punch him in the nose, but we are really just practicing a 'sit stay' with distraction (distracting him without telling him to leave the position)
