This is a fun one to finish on – he does it well and loves to run.

We expanded the wing wrap with a big cone. I need to get faster on my rewards but he is getting better at this.

This was supposed to be the two toy game but part of what I wanted to do is find toys he liked best. Tugging hasn’t been real strong although he chases them and bites at them. I found a couple he seemed to really like including the lotus ball without food in it. At the end there is a short clip of what happens when I have food – the drive for toys really diminishes. I look forward to your suggestions on what to do to maintain the toy drive – I will start using the lotus ball to throw rewards but are their other games or approaches to take to get him to switch back and forth?

I did these games for his dinner tonight and I think they all improved. I had fumbled a bit on the focus forward and was trying to lead him around instead of moving him into position. I think it worked a lot better but I need to work on his just following my hand I think.

I think this got a lot better and I was able to be quieter about putting the food in the bowl. I didn’t really point but felt like he was going to the bowls better tonight.

And this was our second time doing the decel game, I will start adding the turn next time.

And this is our two bowl game. He’s starting to get it, just has to check the hands between bowls.

This is our first attempt at the focus forward. He wants to turn and look at me and when I get him forward it’s hard to see when he is looking at the bowl. I know I missed the first one a couplet of times. https://youtu.be/OW-HtaAzVOQ
