a HIT for The Netherlands: Wim van Dongen & Lady Lana from Java's Home
Before we show you more pics of the trial, first a little secret:
It turns out that Walter is not only a very good agility timer, but also a great obedience steward!
Thanks Walter for make the Aussieworld go round!

Obedience workshop
After the trial, Carol Ann gave some good practical obedience advice during a workshop that was free of charge and open to anybody who wanted to join in.
Practising heel, halt and sit.
Beware, Carol Ann is watching your steps!
It is not so easy...
...to make your dog sit straight...
Trying out the figure 8 heeling exercise in teams, with other handlers and dogs as posts:
Hey mummy, look how I am paying attention!
Well done you all, and do come over to one of our future LASC obedience trials!
