Your mechanics are correct, but you are to close to the cones. A new student can't make those tight turns, so as an Apprentice, you need to demo BIGGER turns and a BIGGER hourglass. Also, when demo'ing, ALWAYS do the Halt mechanics with Fido as that will help the learning student to know what to do. The hardest thing to remember as an Apprentice is to show what the new student knows up to that point.
I am happy to share this video if you agree that I can point out the need for a bigger hourglass and the Halt mechanics. You tell me what you want me to do.
And since Red defaults from a Sit into a Down consistently in your videos, leave him on a Down so it appears he is following your command and not his own agenda-:)
