HI G
I think you'll do better off if you change the mechanics of your down. If you trial in a sport that has a COP exercise you lose points if the dog
moves forward. You want the dogs front legs to stay stationary and the back end to move. The sit looks like Cobra is moving his back end towards his front legs BUT he is moving forward on the down. Have Cobra on a stand and lure him into a sphinx down. Place the treat on his nose and then move down and toward his feet at approximately a
45 degree angle. Be careful not to let him lift his nose which will cause the back end to drop into a sit. You want his nose even with his backbone and then when you go down towards his feet and his head level with his backbone. He should just fold into a sphinx
