Obedience

After a week of playing and doing some basic bits and pieces around the house, Thursday was a good training night under the lights at the NEC.

Ann came with Basco, Jojo brought Gunner and Katrina had Samson(pit).

I worked Aron on faster more accurate heeling, faster sits and downs, accurate positioning. It has been working really well when after a reward I go into the pressing green. It has calmed and strengthened his grips on the tugs or dumbells and made his outs much calmer. He did well on the long downs, near a group of people, in the middle of the the other dogs working. At the end of the second trip out I worked on Voraus for the first time in months. The first couple where at 15' then I went back to full length and longer and finished with Ann hanging the tug while I worked some heeling and after a couple minutes sending him for a straight fast send away.

Madison worked well. The combination of prong and food works wonders for her speed and attention.
