Open A & B - Command Discrimination #1 (without judge)

Effective May 1, 2018, this exercise will be performed in the Open A, Open B and Preferred classes. This new exercise, in addition to the Stay - Get Your Leash Exercise, will replace the current Open Group Exercises.
Open 1-Command Discrimination (Stand, Down, Sit).
The principal features of this exercise are the dog's correct response to the handler's command and/or signals and that the dog stays until the handler returns to heel position.
The handler may use both voice and signals for each position change and each stay command.
The exercise in this video is performed correctly, (no deductions).
For a detailed description of the performance and scoring of the exercise please refer to the AKC Website at
