Patriot – Long Sit

Since the long sit was the only problem Patriot had in his last open obedience trial (would have gotten 2nd place and a 193), I have working him every day. One thing I started doing was making sure I start it the same way I start at trials. I start the sit from a stand since I don’t sit him until the judge says, “Sit your dog.” That way, the sit is as short as possible. He has down pretty well but has gone down a few times. The good things about (unlike Wyatt) is that what you get at home is the same as what you gets at trials so you can actually fix things that happen at trials.
