It has rained for the past month, so we have been doing a little training inside. We are working on Mary Ellen Barry's foundation skills. It is going slowly. :-|
Tonight I setup some jumps, tunnels and the weaves and worked with Cade on all of them. I worked on having him run with me and take jumps and then leave me and take a tunnel. He did very well and has no trouble jumping or taking the tunnels. He had great fun doing it. He will not stay at all, in fact asking him to sit and stay produces this fabulous leap from his hind legs as I move away from him. Wow, what a dynamo I have to work with. I am going to have to start really working on a stay with him.
He followed my front crosses very well, but a rear cross into the tunnel caused him to back out and not take it. He's such a baby still! I have my channel weaves set at about 3 inches so he can run through them and not have to weave. I have been working to get him to go in the correct entry. I let him work it a few times and he actually did all six with some drive a few times. He got pretty good doing 3 and would come out for the treat. Today I gave him the treat, but as we practice, I will give it to him less and less until he knows to do all 6. What a good boy! I had to remove ALL toys from the premises.
