Regarding the Black Cocker, was it just me or did the handler never seem quite prepared to move her dog when asked?

It does take longer for certain breeds to get ready to move because the handler removes the collar and leash as they are standing for examination and then has to put it back on to get ready to move. Did you notice how long it took for the Skye Terrier handler to move the dog because he was brushing all the mussed hair back into place?
