1 On November 16, Tuna and I took part in the OKD competitions held for more than 20 years by the Sokolniki Cultural Center "Spartak Cup" !!

Competitions are not certified, and have some changes in the direction of complication of skills. This competition is very beloved among athletes for this very reason, this competition is not for beginners !! ✌️

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

I'll tell you a little about the competitions ..

This year 75 dogs took part in them. There are two rings on the field, dogs work in parallel in each ring. Each athlete works all exercises in one ring under the judging of one judge independently, demonstrating all skills in turn. Only on the complex does the judge indicate which commands to execute, but the commands are mixed. Something like "They put it down with a voice, put it down with a gesture, set it up with a voice, put it down with a gesture ..." etc. And the call of the dog in the exercise "Place" can be either only a gesture or only a voice, this is discussed before the start of the competition. Before going into the ring, an excerpt is introduced. The dogs lie in pairs from each other at a short distance parallel to each other, each in its own drawn circle, and the owners go to shelters located at a distance of 25 meters from the dogs. Exposure lasts 3 minutes, any change in position up to dropping and tearing of the elbows is penalized, leaving the circle is disqualified from the competition. During the hold time, two shots are fired. In fact, the dog catches 4,5,6 ... shots during the passage of the competition. Everything else in the competition is unchanged.

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

In short, Tuna and I decided to try it !! Right off the bat !!))

Firstly, it’s time to start gaining experience, secondly, it’s time to start gaining experience, thirdly, it’s time to start gaining experience, and it was also very interesting to see if we could cope with such exercises as endurance and complex ..

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

And we coped, but not with everything ...)) 😉

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

I was nervous, this is my first real competition, it is logical that Tuna was nervous, she also had such an experience for the first time. I need to go to home events more and I have to keep my hands in my pockets !! At some point, my hand treacherously reached out to the dog and I pressed my finger on Tuna's rump when she hung in the landing .... REMOVED !!

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

But there are many positive aspects !! Tuna perfectly lay down the restraint, did not look like a bad place, made a "place" and even at the complex was a great clever ... Where I left the dog there, I returned, she remained in the same place, and even though on the first command she hung up and I repeated, but on the other hand she performed all subsequent ones from the first command .. !! 👍

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

This is how little Tuna made her debut in real competitions at 2 years and 2 months .. !!)) And I am very happy with her !!)) But experience, experience and experience are needed .. Both she and me !! We will work and next time we will do better !!))

In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
