When Adele brought home her Flat-Coated Retriever puppy "Sonic" in October of 2011, she started producing short videos of training sessions. The ones she has finished are organized by classes and by areas of training. You can also see all of the videos Adele has posted on her YouTube channel.
Adele's Maneuvers Class
Maneuvers is Adele's second level competition obedience class. The class builds on the Fundamentals exercises and introduces all the directional commands: the dog learns how to move forward, back in heel position, side-step right, side-step left, dizzy spins to the right and rear end pivots to the left. The dogs are introduced to beginning Rhythm Heeling, sit stay proofing, and a sit for exam. All of the exercises are foundation exercises for obedience and rally obedience. Many are also useful for field dogs.
The exercises are introduced in class in the week listed.
