Training Session Log

Length: 10 minutes
Location: Grooming Shop

Continued where we had left off the day before with the formal return portion of the Down Stay. Again I clicked and handed down the treat as I was going around, going further and further around before I clicked until I could actually go all the way around without him having to follow my eyes. The last two reps I bent down to feed him after I had gone all the way around Yippeee! It was a "light bulb" moment Will now go back to Easy Beginnings and I’m sure we will be cruising.

I’ve only a few L3 behaviours to test, Zen is one of them so we worked on increasing time. I’ve aadded a distraction by having both Griffin and Nike doing the Zen together. Went up to 30 seconds off MY hand with no problem. Will increase the dofficulty by using more enticing treats and all I’ll need next will be to find some "strangers" to get Griffin ready for the test.
