<<You can start to fade your hands out of the ready dance, and keep the crouchy engaged body language and eye contact – that will be a good challenge to see if he can stick with you in handler focus til sent to the prop>>
Oh boy, not sure he can do that.
We missed out on daylight today so here’s prop game 1 in my tiny office. Can you tell he loves his freezer bag?
Yeah, I spent several sessions just working on me while the pups were roaming. Still couldn’t get it when I added the dog.
“Do you have any treats he can just slurp down, or is he a chewer?”
He’s a chewer. I haven’t found anything that he doesn’t chew thoroughly, even cheese. We’ll keep trying different things.This weekend Ven got to “walk” in several novel places while I worked my club’s tracking test. He met lots of new people, let a terv and a beagle ride in his car without any worry or barking, learned to potty next to a freeway, watched a busy street corner, and took a short walk on a college campus. He took it all in stride.
Now a short video, I’m struggling with the blind cross game. Ven was tired and wasn’t into toys tonight so I decided to give him the evening off. This clip shows my struggles to get the mechanics correct. Any guidance appreciated.
