2X2 Weaves Sessions Two

1/1/09
Shayla is driving to the poles so hard I couldn't continue to work her on the un-weighted PVC poles, she was knocking them down. I switched to the stick in the ground and rotated them to 8 and 2 o'clock. Then we worked entries all around the arc. Two funny things happend, at 3:40 I seem to be doing a dance, but really Im just trying to get the rock out of my clogs! Then at 4:50 I throw the tug and it lands on Shayla's head. She's doing well so we will stay here for a while until she is getting the reward line 100%



Saavy seemed to do well..I switched toys though so I could aim better and we could tug better. You can see his hesitation at the beginning so I babied him and walked to the toy. I think my over zealousness and shreaks of joy scared him so I will try and just shut up...let him work next time! He is very happy still about weaving. At 1:10 I click and he runs around the poles, I let him get the toy but I did not tug, bad trainer!



My session with Sneak lasted much too long. Forgot that you can't hear the kithen timer outside! = ) She seems to understand the concept that her reward is in the bait bag. I weighed the bag down with a tennis ball and stuffed it full of Bil Jac, this seemed to improve my aim. I was able to get further away from the poles this session.
