Last night I worked with Gus for about 10 minutes and Flex for about the same amount of time. Gus and I worked on two exercises. The first was the phone book/perch work. I worked on getting him to place both feet on the book. He is having an issue with this because he tends to stand with one foot on the book and the other foot in the air to look up at me. I have been clicking for this because I think it is something that he does because he is short. I am going to need to stop so that we can work on the rear end movement. We did this for about 5 minutes and he stayed focused and engaged for the whole time.
Gus and I also worked on his sit work because he is not very reliable on the sit and I have trained a default behavior for him that is a down. Anytime he is not sure what to offer he gives me a down, so I want him to understand and react to the sit command appropriately. I need to get him to sit on command so that I can work on the porpoising exercises for his jump because he will not lure into a sit.
Flex and I worked on his weave entries. Both on and off side. He is getting better at the offside but he is still not as reliable off side as he is on side.
