I took him to class last night and he did really well. He is having no problem being distracted by Chris or David or their dogs :). I was looking at a video of a Susan Garrett seminar on weaves, I really don't think he could do it, but we are a whole lot closer than we were. I till feel we need a humongous spread sheet or something to give us more focus. This week I want to spend some time thinking about it.
My goal for this week is to work Iggy through all the exercises in the one jump video, hmmm that is still more a to do list instead of a goal.
This morning I had Iggy off leash, he was awesome and didn't want to leave me. So now comes the game of giving him freedom but being able to call him back whenever. At one point I sent him to run and he did go about 150 feet I let him sniff for a minute and called him and he kept sniffing, I walked away before I was back to the door he was at my side :). I played keep away with the toy a few minutes and then we had a good game of tug and went and did some jump work.
I got a goal, to walk onto the road of the end of the driveway and he turn to me instead of his brain being lost to the field and the smells there. Another one, good solid nose touches on the plexi glass target.
Last night at class we did bend work with 5 jumps, he did it no problem and was working awesome. We also did running across the dogwalk plank on the ground on a bar. I am going to delay teeter work until I meet with Christine. I want to follow Susan's method and see how it goes.
