I am beginning to get over my kicking and screaming at life and beginning to be able to think again. Putting him in the crate has been a god send. It allows me to have my bad moments and him not to have to suffer them. Looking back I think I see how it was starting to go wrong. I may be imagining it but it's all I have to go with so go with it we will. I think I allowed to many instances of mistakes and not enough reward history to make up for them and ya I got pissed which doesn't help. Still not 100% sure how to fix it but at least we are on the road back again. I need to do a private with Christine and part of that private needs to be discussing off leash walking.
This morning we went out and did a couple of jumps he was so there and then one restrained retrieve and two PB & J. We then walked down the driveway and did 2 recalls along the way and one at the end. He was awesome. Then the snow plow came down the road. We didn't do too badly. He tried real hard to keep tugging but would lose it once in a while but come right back. I wanted to do IYC when I would walk away he wouldn't look at me but kept coming with me without the leash tightening so I was very pleased. Honestly most I have enjoyed with him in a few days so we had fun. It helps it's not too cold and the sun is shining.
