Got home last night after Iggy had been left alone for 6 hours and he was so wired had to do something. We did some perch work and tugging on the bed. I got him to tug gently while lying down and do a great job of transferring his weight back when tugging on the bed. God it was fun to work a dog who wanted to work this much. Poor baby now he will probably get more crate time but that's what I want. Sad when I wished I worked full time so my dog would work better.
Let off leash this morning he really only didn't respond once and then he was heading over to take a poop and came right back to me afterwards.
I want proof recalls just for a couple of reps every day so we went out with two toys. One his tennis ball on a rope and the other his schumm toy. We did 10 foot recalls with tennis ball on the ground first started about 5 feet off the recall line and worked to 1 foot off the recall line. He did great. Then switched toys and he still nailed it. Need to do more work on him picking up and coming back with the schumm toy, he started heading to the front yard I ran away and he came to me with the toy. It is still not habit so I need to do a number of send to toy and run away to improve that. Working towards getting more of a turn before I run. I think that is the problem I do turn and run immediately or stand there I need to start mixing it up.
