Day 3: Blanco Rally Novice Practice on Course 1100525

This will be a good video to go back and watch after a couple of months practicing this Rally Novice course.  Blanco is on this RNV1 course for the first time.  Each orange cone has a sign on it, and we are to perform that sign at that cone.  The first cone is a transition from a normal walk to a slow walk.  He will learn to stay in a heel position,  meaning his front legs are in line with my leg. 

Here in this video Blanco is weaving around, he needs to learn to stay with me nice and tight but on a loose lead.  I dont care what he is doing, I just want to know what he will give me.  At sign 6 he needs to do a hault/down/walk around. That means he comes to a stop and sits. Then he needs to do the down command and stay down with elbows touching the ground. Im using the coffee table so I can help him and not strain my back. He did great with the sit! This is only day 3 of practice. He isn't sure about the down.
