THANK you! I just adore and love my silly boy. He’s SOOO GAME FOR ANYTHING and everything with me. I just love him to pieces! Yeahhhhh, I worked him too long and asked for that session too far. AND of course I asked him for all three at the same time. He’s a good sport……. Appreciate the suggestions a LOT. He LOVES his toy!
THANK you so much for everything! HOPE you had n AMAZING Christmas and New Years!

I apologize, I’m probably not at my best here. My C3 and C4 vertebrae have a pinched nerve and it hurts pretty much constantly. But Sid is the best, despite his handler!
I’m kinda stuck on the “YES” thing, gotta come up with an alternative……
The boy is fast at lifting the toy, me not so much at catching!
Was a bit crazy here at Christmas! BUT thank you so much for all your help!

My Race was also like that, focus forward, but didn’t look at me. And Miki, my Field Spaniel, did the same thing. Miki especially focused on the object in front of him. They’re all so special and wonderful. Gotta love’em.
Yeahhhhh, the leg bumps definitely got a “WHAT” From him? But cookies are good for whatever you want! Collar grab WITH THE TOY! Perfect! Sets it up to be even more fun for him.
Yeah, I wondered about the height on that ladder, so I figured out how to stretch it out, made it longer. But a much better height. The boy always seems to feel the need, the need for speed, so I loaded the extended ladder with cookies, and added a slow walk through with him. Was better.
The resilience game, LOL, right now the cookies would get lost in the snow! Sid is LOVING the powdery snow! I need to coordinate taking it elsewhere, finding a fairly cleared parking lot would be okay?
SOME times are better than others at ignoring the toy,nothing that practice and rewarding won’t perfect! He’s SO fun to work with, my other BC was sooooo serious about everything, Sids just a clown! He keeps me from taking everything too seriously!
These lessons are SO fun for both of us! You’re da best! Thank you!
Yeah, I need to train myself for using the BITE it! Good spotting on that, when playing I wondered what happened to our connection……
I felt uncoordinated with cookies, toy and not using a bite command. Need more Practice on my part, he’s SO good and forgiving of me.
Yes! Get in and Get it are too close! He understood it, but you’re right, this would really muddy the waters. I’m kinda good at that! I’ll use just tunnel next time. I DO have a bigger tunnel, he took to it just fine and loved it!
The turn aways, I have a tendency to babysit for too long, so start to fade the hand in face to something a bit softer, not IN their face kinda thing!
With the prop, that’s perfect using the cookie toss to get in position! I felt awkward, knew I was in the wrong place, but directing away will help tons with correcting your position! Extra cookies is NEVER a bad thing! Like extra chocolate! Duh, should’ve picked up on moving the prop. I have blonde moments……
Sid offers “downs” a LOT! Should I just go with that? I don’t feel strongly about staying in a sit or a down. Is it important at this stage to ask for the sit and work at that? Down was really hard for him to keep initially. SO I really worked on it, apparently a lot. Now asking for a sit needs work……. Sorry, didn’t read all the way through. I’ll definitely reward what he wants to offer! AND reward him a lot for it! THANK you so much!
