Golden retriever entry in obedience/distraction avoidance contest

[xiphias]

Apparently, one type of dog show contest is to test the dog's ability to obey the owner's commands -- in this case, a simple "come here" -- in a distraction-rich environment.

Will the natural curiosity and intelligence of the collie lead it astray, or will it head to its owner? What about the sharp senses and situational awareness of the German shepherd -- will it obey the "come" command, or decide that the various objects around need to be checked? And what about the golden retriever? How will that dog do?

Before watching, make sure you've gone to the bathroom recently. I nearly pissed myself laughing.

Personally, I think the golden was the REAL winner - after all, he managed to taste EVERY plate along the way

That's probably about how my dog would do. Except he might eat some of the toys, too.

You note that that dog tried -- he just suddenly discovered another plate of treats before he could get too far into it.

Ok, recovered now. I think. *giggle* No, not quite. :-)
