I think he is almost all back but I am definitely taking my time. We went out this morning and we did some tugging he was on so decided to allow him some off leash time. Release two steps call back repeat 3 times, fourth rep allowed him to go out into the field he peed and called him back. Worked well, after the meeting of the minds with the cats yesterday wasn't sure I would have any brain but it looked good. We did some lefts and rights, still having the odd hard time getting him to spin right. He had about 3 pees and a poo all of leash and all returning to me after being called. Now there is a light covering of snow on the patches of ice on he driveway which just scare the crap out of me so we went inside and headed to the basement.
We did some tugging when we got down there to assess brain, it looked good so we worked on backing up. We have huge alignment problems :). I used the end of the rug as my marker and he managed back feet off a few times, come to think of it I didn't mark where I was in relation to the end of the carpet so I know where to sit next time. I am working on throwing the food in a straight line away from me and that will hopefully help with his alignment. We worked on some nose touches on my hand, hand on floor. He definitely was more confident than he was yesterday, will have keep working on the target.
