So we went to watch and support Johanna competing in obedience with the Akita Leon.

Johanna puts a lot of time and fantasy on training her Akitas. Leon for obedience, and Kia for agility. I love to see an Akita being occupied with something no matter if it is tracking, pulling, agility, dancing or in this case obedience.

It is amazing how Johanna has managed Leon to really have that required eye-contact. Good job Johanna!

It was really really hot weather and the dogs were some-what dull, which I fully understand. Me and Mikael was sitting in the shade with Johanna's friend Jenny and her two border collies. The judges and other staff suffered from the heat, having to spend hours in the sun. Manuel was at my sister's since we did not dare bringing him, what if we had to leave him in the car? It was just too hot risking that. /Charlotte
