good...well done...the concept of 'no reward unless....' is sinking in.....keep it up..it an important turning point...this is what you are aiming for in order for her to go to agility....so small steps....a slightly busier field a few more dogs etc...controlled greets ...then with ollie too then a playground with children in but they keep away.... then a playground with children and a quick hello.... then a bit of a play and fuss with them etc...short controlled sessions with the reward being upped each time there is achievement
well done...really well done....and don't forget to reward yourselves either
as for the agility...all i was doing was re-enforcing the cues we had been working on at the highest criteria for her and Ash.....they both did good...could not have expected more from her at that stage...
i didnt go so far as to let her do the agility course...she was kept on leash and had to settle and watch the other dogs from various points in the room and every now and again do her heelwork with turns and sits and downs in retaining focus on whichever one of us had her...her reward for doing good was to do a few weaves and a couple of jumps....she only lunged twice when other rogue not under control dogs came at her and each time she did a brill leave and back into heel...the last one was when she was with ash doing a couple of jumps on leash...the dog appeared at speed (with owner screeching name over and over
) Ash got it perfect and megs response was instant and she went into a brill heel looking up at him obedience style...so we left on that good note
as for the club itself....'no comment' says enough i think
