I did 15 minutes of work tonight with the dogs. Five minutes was with Gus on the perch work (standing with both feet on the book). I tried to only click when he had both foot touching the book. This was a little frustrating for Gus but he stuck with it and came back to me after just a few seconds of looking away or looking for treats. We also did about five minutes of work on sits and downs. He did much better tonight on understanding the difference and giving me what I asked for.
I worked on weave entries with Flex again tonight. We did straight on off side weaves and he showed a marked improvement finding the entry almost 70% of the time. He occasionally gives me a drive by but I can call him back and he is usually successful on the next turn. I also found a new toy for Flex that I call the bungee dog. They can be ordered from the Kyjen Company (a picture of the one I got is above). I have been looking to find one of these for a couple of weeks (since Flex destroyed the one I had). Now that I have the company's name and website I can order more as he goes through them. There are a great toy that I use only for agility.
