So, We worked on our marker word, their name, sits, and downs. Everything Mr. DK already knows, but it was a good chance to work on our focus in a new place with new distractions.
Knight currently reacts to other dogs barking. He gets nervous and tries to get up in my lap away from the noise, or runs behind me. At show handling last week he was also very wary of the Irish Water Spaniel behind us.
So We've got alot of work to do there... just getting him more comfortable around other dogs that actually want to see him. Since Lilly aka "Casey" (mom's nickname for her, from the show Chuck) does everything to avoid confrontation with him. Then just stiffens up and growls and he wacks her in the face with his paws x_x
I've been working on informal retrieving, tossing out a ball, then trading the ball for a treat when he comes running back. Started to introduce the heel posistion, and now I really need to get to work on his crate behavior more.
I'm going to start cracking down on outside potty work this coming week. With me he's been great with using his litter box, now it's time to work on the outdoor stuff, as I really don't want to drag a litter box with me everywhere lol.
His crate manners need some MAJOR work, as he was horrible at agility class last week, now he's prety good with his ex-pen manners, time to shape up that crate.
His Conformation Match is tomorrow! So Booger boy needs a bath today, I'm a little nervous, but also very excited. :)
