Another good week at class. This weeks main focus was farther foundation on the recalls, loose lead heeling, foundation for leave it, and "wait at the gate".
Knight got distracted by the fuzzballs during the second recall, but he was pretty good with the first. Everything else he did with ease. His waits are getting pretty solid along with his release. And I'm very happy with the progress on his sits, downs, and rise. Need to work on the transition from down to sit. and from down to rise before I'm ready to drop the reinforcement rate.
Today I also introduced him to the tippy board, I actually need to slow him down a bit on that haha. By the time he gets to the tipping point he's really to bound right off. Much different to the dancing around I had to do with Lilly. This boy is confident and thinks flying around is much more suitable than walking. So I'll be sanding that up that weekend, once I get two more rollers and have it just like a mini teeter.
His stand for exam is shaping up nicely, Currently I've been doing up to three pats before I treat. I'm going to start working on building up having one of the sibling come over and do the petting.
I'll be sure to snap some pictures this weekend :)
