Rudy S. French Bulldog Loves Obedience

Rudy is a French Bulldog that started in my group obedience handled at first by his dad, Mark and now his mom, Linda.  He really loves to please the leader.  I was lucky enough to have him over the weekend.  The busier I keep him the more he likes it.  He works for food but is easily stimulated by vocal praise as we work.  I practice an obedience pattern but any time I want him closer I shift into a higher or more challenging gear. I do what in Rally Obedience is called a left about turn, German about turn or a Schutzhund about turn, followed by a quick and tight left 180 or 360.   This group of moves really helps to define the pocket or the position to easily turn right or left with the handler.
