We got 144/200. He was nervous because my mom came to watch and she hadn't come to any of the practices. He usually sits on command. He also go up twice during the long sit and once at the very beginning of the long down, which is very much unlike him.

Thanks for replying. This video means quite a lot to me so it was kind of disheartening to come check on it a few times a day only to see it slowly getting pushed down, until it was on the second page.

well done Niño. what is 4-H by the way? I don't think we have it in the UK but I guess it's an equivalent to our kennel club good citizen dog scheme.

I don't go to dog general as much as I used to, and I must say I'm very impressed with Nino. What a smart pupper! You can tell he was a bit distracted, but it's ok, it happens to us all

I love watching dogs in training. I find it so beautiful. Good job, Nino!

4-H is a youth club in which kids take on projects each year. They can be art projects to show at the fair, or animal projects. Oslo (my bunny) started out as a 4-H project, I raised him to show at the 4-H show, but I then kept him as a pet after that. Other years I've had livestock projects.
Here is their FAQ page

I'd also like to add that I taught him that finish that day waiting for our turn, and that was the first time he did it off leash ever. This is the dog that two years ago I refused to ever walk again because I couldn't get him to care about doing anything I wanted. That was positive reenforcement Niño, this is old school training Niño. It just goes to show you that no one type of training will work for every dog. He obviously enjoys it, since the words "Doggy training" get him to excitedly rush towards the door, looking at the car.
