Top Notch Canine Class

We worked on the following things tonight with Debbie:

1. We reviewed his progress on the jump to sit work.
2. We reviewed his work on the telephone book and rear end movement.
3. We reviewed his sit stay.
4. We used the channel weaves and how to work them with him - especially to minimize the number of repetitions.
5. We reviewed his teeter and dog walk performance and discussed what I wanted from him on these obstacles and how to train that.

Our homework:

1. He must work for all of his meals.
2. Continue to work on his come to heel using the telephone book - don't sweat the fact that he is lifting his front leg.
3. Continue with the jump to sit exercise but I need to get low with him so that his head stays down. Only treat when he is seated.
4. Continue with the control and stay work that I have been doing.
5. Continue 101 things to do with a box.
6. Open the weave-a-matics so that he doesn't have to bend much. Work on the following:Send, Run with and recall from 5', 10' and 20'. Add in lateral distance too.
7. down on the board with all 4 paws. he should be looking down and straight ahead.
