Saturday, we woke up early and headed out to Hanover to set up.
My first demonstration was just showing off my clients. Six dogs lined up and proceeded to heel (in both walk and jog), weave through cones, sit, stay, down, stay, come, place, and ignore distractions. I was so proud of everyone. They all did such a beautiful job! Unfortunately, I completely forgot to hand my camera off, so I don't have any pictures of them working so hard. Oh well, maybe next time!
Before the demonstration, my booth was DEAD. There weren't a lot of people at the event anyway, which was sad, but the people who were there just weren't stopping for a dog trainer. The crowd was completely different from what I encounter at Henrico, and I almost felt like the in-home was a little too "froo froo" for them. After the demo, though, things changed. I couldn't catch a break! People saw that I helped to create well-behaved dogs, and they wanted in on it. Since the event was smaller, I was able to spend more one-on-one time with people. I'm really hoping it turns out well..
At 1:30 I had my second demo. This one was a stay demonstration followed by a stay competition. This one was easy, because it was basically what I teach my clients every day, but it became difficult when the batteries in my microphone died. Luckily I can have a loud voice when I need to.

Hold your stay. Do not eat food until I release. Good boy for looking at me. Free! |
Cody was tired, and was super-good at holding a stay while I walked around the ring. |
This girl and her dog were the winners. |
Anyway, by the time we left Bass Pro the dogs were pooped! Cody fell asleep, twitching and all, in less than 5 minutes. Tommy didn't even hesitate getting back in his crate. When we got home, Kyla and Alex could have cared less about playing or chasing the cats. They simply sprawled out on the floor or curled up on the couch and slept.
All in all, it was a very good day. I seriously hope I can do it again next year!
