I can't watch it because it keeps saying an error has occurred.
I don't agree with using a dogs name when doing formal obedience though. When doing obedience your dog should ALREADY be paying attention to you. I give one command only with no name and if they don't respond or are slow to do it they get corrrected. (your dog probably isn't old enough for corrections though). I will actually do little things to try and set them up for being corrected for not paying attention. For example if my dog is in a long down and is looking around and not at me, THATS when I call them. I don't wait for them to look at me. If they are slow to come to me because they weren't paying attention, they get popped. Sounds mean but thats one way to get dogs to pay attention to you and that's how you get nice fast/crisp obedience.
