Pip foundation tue 27th

Started well with some super play, then lay down and waited whilst Karen explained what we were going to do, even though he wanted to get up a ouple of times when other dogs played behind him.

Then had to do position and wait in front of a jump - he was ok - but not really focussinf. I went off and did it on my own and he was fab. - MUST practice this at home WITHOUT toy.

Then started to do some stations and other dogs went off to do other stuff, and he took exception to the lady with the JR jumpin about and started barking. Then he decided everything was odd and needed barking at and barking and barking. Took him to the far end and he ccalmed down. Then walked him around for a bit as he was much less distrated when moving. Managed to fit in some back, and a bit of bowl and ccushion. and some touch but really too distrated for cue work.

Barked a bit more when we did restrained recalls to circle work, and other dogs went first and disappeared up the other end, but then when it was his go he was fantastic - flat out fast to me and then circled - even though the dogs he was barking at were in his direct line of sight he turned away to be with me and played well.

The got some good attention and did all 4 on the box.

During the first barky phase Karen said take him off lead and walk away to other end. which worked, but he then ran off to see Fizz, but he realled away from her to me :)

So.... bit challenging but lots of great stuff too.
