Lead by example: I wasnt aware that I was being filmed, but I hope you folks can see the importance of reward. Since I am still training Piper to be what she was before I originally retired her...I took the time. Just think about it.

For those who aren't aware, when you find all of your rats (Max of 5), the handler has to call the course "clear"...to let the judge know there are no more rats to be found, then the handler must finish any unfinished tasks for the time to stop and the run to conclude.
