11-3-2008 Training
10 or 15 minutes
Sitz in position with attention feeding him (couple of different times after releasing him)
Fuss up & down the center line with right runs feeding him (right turns, he’s speeding around them might be starting to forge a little too much.
Two hose breaks every so often (bad habit of not bringing them back all the way)
Used hot dogs for food & it went MUCH smoother, was able to feed him more accurately & he was able to eat them much faster. Also he wasn’t taking my fingers off like when he was younger.
He seems to be dropping his head more (looking for food, goose shit, rabbit poo, or because he and I were both dropping kibble before (maybe the hot dogs will help that, he was also more drivey for the hot dogs)
He jumped for a hose right as I tossed it and kind of jammed himself when bounced of my chest/right side rib cage/arm pit and slid sideways upon landing. He seemed fine when he got up, but I need to focus on keeping him on the ground for now…he’s still goofy with those long legs and not terribly agile.
Overall today was the best day in awhile with regards to attention, food, excitement, and accuracy. If his stomach holds out I think hot dogs with 2 hose breaks will be the combination for the week. Wonder if he’ll eat tofu?
