I'm hoping to get all my Caucasian Ovcharkas, maybe a few others, titled in Shutzhund but I have a few questions: First, how on earth do you get them to sit with the toy and look ahead at the same time? Second, one of my COs seems to like standing and sniffing instead of walking around; will this lower his score/be a DQ? Third, in the manworker test what exactly do they have to do, just run past? Should they look at the pyramid thing or not? Does their whole body have to be visible or can they be behind/in front? Fourth, dogz are given a percentage and if they get over 70% in three shows they all get the title regardless of placing, right? Sorry for the newbiness

Let them pick up the toy, then sit them on a ledge. It takes a bit sometimes, but eventually they will look forward Not sure if it will lower the score or not, but I've found if I let my dog start sniffing somewhere, I can pick them up and put them and align them where / how I want. Then just wait, let them sniff a couple times in the spot you put them then they *should* start walking and sniffing. Sometimes it takes a few tries but they usually eventually do it. I believe any of these are acceptable, you could always enter one and see how they do on that task. If not well then try another one. I believe so
