And I don't know why, but it always seems like sometimes the way the judge sets up the skate bite, it's in a really shitty place where the decoy on the skate bite always ends up getting constantly hit on the side. Do you know? Is that a helper problem or is it the setup?

But not the impact here. I'm talking the impact on your side of your leg. Yeah.

You kind of have to be ready. Just as we were talking earlier, there is an impact.

And maybe you're taking too big steps or something. Something technically you're not doing right.

Sometimes, some judges are actually painting the ass. Some judges are... I hate it when a judge doesn't allow the helper. It's like, no, I'll tell you when to stop. I'll tell you when to start. And it just takes away all the freedom of the helper to really do what... on their timing, you know, it's like, okay, you're with the dog.

Now I have to pay attention for you to tell me instead of deciding, you know, like this interruptions I hate when the judges become so overly controlling of the helper. Yeah.

Yeah, you're still going the same place.

It has to be fair. I just feel that when the judge starts to really tell when to stop, like in a drive, when to start the re-attack. Oh, that shit. It becomes just like, if you don't like what I'm doing, then select a different helper, right? Like, I mean, you're really tying my hands. Yes.

What do you think about the active and silent guards? What do I think about? Like some trainers, some judges. don't like silent guard altogether. Some think it has to be active. Some judges recognizing the silent guard, when the silent is not necessarily a guard, but it's just, I'm just sitting here waiting. I'm not looking away, but I'm sitting and waiting.

Or if it's a active guarding, well, maybe the barking is just kind of, it's very... active but there is no demand and like like well do you have anything it's the same problem in my eyes so um a silent garden can be active as well for sure
