They had a deal where the dog has to go to their "Place" but tonight they had to share it with another dog.  Then when the trrainer said "switch"  they had to go to another place and share it withh another dog.  Dang battery went out on the cam corder.  Then at the end 3 dogs were piccked to be called to their place without leashes.  Modoc was one.  He did great.  The rest of the dogs in the class had to be taken to their "place" by leash.  Modoc was on strict verbal commands.  The trainers are telling us to not muzzle him him and so are several of the other dog owners.  Maybe next time, lol.  It all has to do with our comfort level although we never muzzle hime any other timee.  We just figure this is intense but he apparently is in what they call the "advanced" stage.  Good boy Modoc,
