Thursday foundation.

Can't believe I forgot the shoulder thing on circle work!! Puppy did some nice circles and some not so nice ones. Was particularly pleased with the ones when a van went down the drive as he was distracted but did stay with me and come back to work.

Care re positioning reward - make sure it stays in my hand until he is in the right position and looking at me - dont lure him into position. stop and wait if he isnt paying attention - esp on acc/decel at turn.

Start trying with toy again and see what happens re nipping as he hasnt done this for several weeks now.

waits - count out the rewards before starting. care re position. don't make it too hard for him (by withholding reward if he stretches for it - instead get reward in quicker to him. and practice the not stretching for reward as a seperate thing.

start line - practice the walk in...

recording... MORE details. number of rewards, reward rate, time of exercise, response from him, level of drive.

nose touch - placement of reward. nose touch on target - in hand for now - need more drive.

play - care on length of session as he is getting tired and thus stopping if I go on too long. record time

Make record keeping log for next week
