So they can have two of their own and two different dogs. Why to have to own dogs? Because the pressure is high on that kind of days and because it's a sort of competition between the helpers.

So they can have two of their own and two different dogs. Why to have to own dogs? Because the pressure is high on that kind of days and because it's a sort of competition between the helpers.

Well, it's a little bit of competition for the helpers who are getting the nicest trials. So the best helpers are getting the Dutch championships. So that's a motivation to work hard for something, at least if you want to. Right. So this year we probably we didn't choose the most technical ones, the most safe ones. Well, they are all safe because they're all good, but we choose for fight. So.

Well, pressure starts, of course, only with one thing is how is the helper going on the field? With what kind of mentality is he stepping on the field? Is he stepping on the field because 5000 people are filming? Oh, I may not make mistakes. It must look good because then we get some more trials. Or is he stepping on the field for now? Let's find out. And Well, I prefer the last thing.

So if they... Well, what's the second? I think it starts with that.

Yes, with the attitude. Because if you don't have the attitude, you cannot give pressure.

Yeah, I think it matters. How faster you go, the less time there is to test the dog.

Yeah, I think it matters. How faster you go, the less time there is to test the dog.

And how faster you are, there's always something more in motion than a dog can understand at that moment. So if you make the re-attack, if you make the drive and you're going really fast, it ends also really fast. Yeah. The protection is already a fast game. So, take the dog on the ground, bow over the dog, the stick presence.

Yeah, and another typical thing is you already mentioned a little bit helpers are picking the dog up. Exactly how I said, picking the dogs up instead of making a real attack. with no moving sleeve and stick in front of the sleeve. Yeah.

Yeah. And you also mentioned the place where the dog wants to be. So if you pick up a dog and you're going to start running and having the sleeve a little bit high, the dog is not going, cannot go anywhere. Yes.

So what we try to teach the helpers in the Netherlands is work low with the dog on the ground, four paws on the ground, straight back and do everything with your legs and with your shoulders. And well, try to make it as dark as possible for the dog.
