10 Minutes in Back yard
- Started by getting him going with the KONG, I should mention he always comes straight from his crate when I work him. He’s not laying on the couch watching reruns of Scooby Do
- He was on a short lead and I put him on a pinch collar today. Wasn’t giving him corrections as much as getting him into position (luring isn’t working 100% of the time).
- Short straight lines with variable speed, KONG still out where he can see it, and minimal adjustments with the lead.
- Released him when he was ‘correct’, kept it short today (may have been going to long before). I think he is slowly beginning to understand I walk here and look up the fat man throws the KONG.
I think it went better today, he is really interested in the KONGS and he is beginning to understand what is expected. Even when Thomas came out and barked at him he didn’t lose his focus (unlike indoor training at the club last weekend when he sniffed around where people had dropped coffee cake).
