The (obedience) tests will bore you to death, but with your own variations you can play forever and score your own way:
HEEL ON LEAD: Walk as slowly as you can, then spring forward with all your weight. If your handler falls flat on his face you score 25 points.
RECALL: When your handler shouts at you, assume rock deafness. On no account sit in front of your handler, because he will only make you heel. 25 points if your handler loses his voice.
RETRIEVE THE DUMBBELL: On no account fetch it back, because he will only throw it away again. If he wants the stupid piece of wood let him fetch it himself; you will be helping to train him not to throw away things he really wants...you get 5 points every time the handler gets the dumbbell.
SIT: Stay one inch off the ground at the backend. This builds muscles and makes your rear legs stronger, which will help you pull your handler down on the HEEL ON LEAD.
CONCLUSION: Do any exercise you choose perfectly! This will leave your handler thinking that the earlier mistakes were his fault, and he will take you to training classes week after week.
