What a Bernese Mountain Dog Novice Draft Test looks like (maneuvering portion). Yes! We passed!! The only thing you don't see is the 3 minute long down stay in the cart (off leash across the ring), and a 1/2 mile freight haul with 20 pounds in the cart. Chase did great, I had a few bobbles, and will work on being smoother (nerves!). Chase was amazing!!
The maneuvering includes a circle right and a circle left, slow, load and greet a friendly stranger, unload and petting by a friendly stranger, narrows, one foot back-up, visual distraction, noise distraction, moveable object in any order the judges set up on the course. All this is done on lead but has to be loose lead at all times.
