The Novice A obedience drill includes heeling off leash, healing on leash, a figure eight walk, standing for examination, a one minute sit and a three minute sit. Man and dog work on drills only about 15 minutes a day. Any more would take the fun out of the training, he said. Arestis enjoys showing off mementos from the competitions and happily discusses successes as well as failures. "I love to brag about that dog," he said.

Their next competition is Feb. 15. He admits he was lucky when he picked Duchess among the dogs at the Humane Society. Many stray dogs, he said, would be difficult to train for obedience because of bad experiences with humans in the past. Many trainers, he said, argue that obedience dogs should be purchased only from a reputable breeder.
