We started off heeling to get the dogs concentrated. Kuma needed it, but then so did Sam |

| Stand-For-Exam
Everyone was split into teams of 3 each. You had to race down to the end, place your dog on a Stand-Stay, and put a t-shirt on him. He had to remain standing throughout this. First team with all 3 dogs clothed wins. WE WON!! |

| Loose Leash Heel
For this exercise, we had to carry a cotton ball in a spoon and hold the leash in the same hand through a figure 8 course. If the dog tugged the leash, the cotton ball would fall. I was so concentrated on the spoon, that I forgot about Kuma, but he must have done ok, I didn't drop it. I made one mistake, when I got back to the start line, I brought Kuma face to face with a Golden. But he didn't challenge. First team done, wins. We lost :( |

| Recall-Finish
KUMA WINS!!!!! Fine print, no need to read Two dogs competed against each other until a winner was decided. Names were drawn out of a hat for the order of competition. When a dog won, he had to stay and compete against the next one so some dogs had to compete several times. Kuma was the last name drawn so he only had to compete once. |

| That's it!!! I feel sad that it's over, but basic II starts on 6 June. Gabriella and I are taking both Kuma and Chica through so it should be interesting with the 2 of them wanting to play all the time. But there will be no one to take video :( | |
