Just two weeks of class since I have started giving Hemi a "job" [at the end of the contacts] and I am happy to say I think so far the results are very positive. I noticed Thursday night she gave me a couple of barks, but then started her job! Hooray for her!
Due to Debbie's lil' tornado in her field, we have only been doing the A-Frame - but that is OK, we work the dog-walk in my back yard all the time.
I got her sassing at me when I have the ball in hand, which is simulating her excitement in a trial - that is awesome too - because now we can work on fixing it in the back yard. Last night I got her doing her job quietly with the blue frog ball in hand ! - Boohya!
What's next? Well, still working forward focus & "Go's" - but see some much needed circle work in the near future.
We need to get to some fun matches or some kind of trial to start putting our hard work to the test!
These next couple of weeks, she isn't going to get the lessons she needs, since my kids are in town - but I hope to throw one or two in there to keep it fresh in her mind.
That's all for now...
