11-7-2008 Training
15 Minutes (first cold day….need gloves)
More of the same Fuss and Sitz at attention with hot-dogs…forgot to take the clicker (ooops). Isaac is definately catching on to what is going on when we go to the field.
Did one pass up and back on the center line not using food to lure, but instead held his attention with the hoses. I decided to do this because he was on fire for the hoses and figured it couldn’t hurt. Though he is a touch inconsistent in bringing them all the way back in (sometime all the way other times drops while running in). He always comes straight back in, seems the faster he comes in the more likely he is to drop the hose.
He is definately paying attention on the field when we are working or playing two hose. No longer dropping his head or casting it around. Doesn’t care that there is goose poop on the ground. We’ll see how this week at Indian Creek goes (last week he was investigating more than anything else, lots of sniffing).
Things are shaping up for me as well. I’m walking in a more proper position (head up/looking forward), feeding/luring better, and my timing is getting much better. More of a pain to get myself in order than the stinking dog.
