Knight is still the star of the class :) The little goof-ball haha. This week we showed off our progress on the sits, downs, and the name game. Then she introduced the start of recalls, loose lead walking, and hand touches.
Knight is still a bit skiddish with the barking and seems to be... very submissive I guess with other people. Flopping around on the floor a bit and dashing back to me after he got treats. It looks like I need to get him out and about a bit more. Next week I'll be starting up show handling again so that should help.
I let Knight play in the tunnel again today and did some go-outs with a pole in the ground. I need to remember that Knight is not Lilly. Just because he did the tunnel once does not mean that he knows it. So I really gotta keep that reinforcement rate high. I'll start setting out a target for him and sending him out to the tunnel this coming week.
So, things we need to work on.
-Stand for exam
-loose lead heeling
-nose touches (pretty solid, but more work never kills anyone)
-RECALLS
-Straight tunnel. Different entries, keep it short, fast, and fun.
-Grooming (As tasty as they may look, brushes are not for eating)
-More Crate Games
-Laying quiet gets you out of your ex-pen/crate
-Informal retrieves
-Rollover (started it this past week)
-Back up
