Good sessions today

Since it was predicted that the weather is going to be rainy until Saturday, I decided to do work on two areas with Chloe and keep the ongoing groundwork and 2o2o with Scout. I could have done a session but we had the roof done which was a stressful day in itself. Its interesting following up the clean up they did, I found nails and staples in the yard!

Chloe's session started with jump work, followed by contact work and some small sequences. The jump work wasn't that complicated as it was mainly lead out/come to heel, wraps, 270s, and continued work on the "Out" command using one of the jumps which started shakey at first but got better as timed moved on. Contact work involved lateral distance some 7-10' away and calling her to the contact. I didn't send her to the contact yet even though we started working on areas (send, come, lateral) back in December. My main goal was to break her habit of sitting when doing her 2o2o.

During her session, Scout was in the crate chewing a bone while the agility audio cd was playing which didn't work because he was constantly howling, whining and barking. When it was his turn, we started off on heel work then jump work and ending with 2o2os. He'll do anything for food! He has such a work drive for food! Like yesterday, as we were walking the backyard, he would offered 2o2o position as we walked past the DW and the teeter. Today was no different in fact he kept on getting on the teeter which is now set at full height and doing his 2o2o. He only bailed off the teeter twice and his confidence is growing on it. But he won't hold the 2o2o position more than 3 seconds. So we still have work to do. His come to heels are awesome and I wish Chloe had the same enthusiasm about them. And he loves his table!

Today was good but its time for the rain to come but not such a big deal because the camcorder is coming in today so I'll be busy.
