Running Contacts 4: New Plank and Location
Just had our fourth session. Bob's second to be precise. Thought I might as well generalize the behavior from the beginning to other planks and environments.
Running Contacts 3: Manners Minder - Yes, please!
Did our third running contacts session today, and I do spot a trend I really don't like. Both Zap and Poncho anticipate where the reward is coming from, therefore they look over their shoulder to spot it. This means they aren't running at full speed across the plank.
Running Contacts 1
I decided to defy the snow and went out to train the dogs. Because off the snow our running contact training has been proponed with almost two months, but I decided it was time for our very first session today.
To Fail Or Not To Fail?
We continued our weave training in a new environment today. We went to the LaZi course to change the scenery but not adding any over exciting element. Susan Garrett says at this point it is important to let the dog work through what ever difficulties he may have and him figure out the solution on his own.
